The More Sensitive The Data, The More Likely It Will Be Targeted

Consumers and businesses are sharing more data across an ever-expanding digital landscape, including cloud, mobile and IoT. Organizations are increasingly challenged to deliver a mobile, cloud-enabled, customer experience in order to compete while balancing the associated cyber risk that it entails.

No matter how big or small your organization is, there is a significant amount of sensitive data that you may store, handle, process, and/or transmit that must be secured, such as personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI):

Personally Identifiable
Information (PII)

Includes the full name, address, phone number, email address, social security number, taxpayer information, financial information, and any other data that companies can store to identify a specific individual, whether they’re an employee or customer.

Protected Health
Information (PHI)

Includes a patient’s medical history, demographic data, medical test and lab results, insurance coverage information, and other sensitive data that a healthcare provider collects to identify an individual and administer proper medical care.

Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI)

Refers to any of the confidential protected health information (PHI) that is stored, handled, or transmitted electronically.

The more sensitive the data, the higher the probability that threat actors will attack it. It is not just a question of financial gain. Hackers enjoy the challenge, and status that comes from breaking into your most sensitive data.

When thinking data security, ask yourself:

  • How prepared are we to protect against sensitive data theft?
  • What is the probability of our traditional perimeter defenses being bypassed by hackers?

Organizations can take preventative measures, such as delivering phishing and security awareness training for employees to take extra precaution in their personal and professional online activities. However, this only goes so far to mitigate the inevitable risk of human error.

We live in a world where people constantly share personal information online giving threat actors endless opportunity and time to use personal data as a key that allows easy entry into a target’s network.

How eSentire Protects Your Sensitive Data

Protection from a targeted attack requires swift detection and response capabilities. eSentire Managed Detection and Response (MDR) delivers advanced detection, 24/7 threat hunting, deep investigation, and most of all complete response.

Put Your Cyber
Defenses to the Test

No matter how large or small your organization is, threat actors are going to exploit vulnerable systems and take advantage of human error in pursuit of their objectives. Unfortunately, research commissioned by eSentire has shown that only 39% of organizations have the detection and response capabilities to deter a cyberattacker.

It is essential that you prioritize testing your organizations cyber defenses continually to maintain your business operations, deliver services and limit operational disruption.

Sensitive Data Security FAQ

What is sensitive data security?

Sensitive data security includes the measures and strategies put in place to protect highly valuable information that, if disclosed, could cause harm to individuals or organizations. This includes protecting your sensitive data from unauthorized access, data breaches, or data leaks.

What types of data are considered sensitive in terms of data security and privacy?

Your organization likely has a significant amount of sensitive data that you store, handle, process, and/or transmit that must be secured. Your sensitive data can include personal identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), electronic protected health information (ePHI), and any other private or confidential data of your customers and employees.

Why is sensitive data security crucial for businesses?

Threat actors will target you based on how sensitive your data is, how much that data is worth, and how easy of a target you are versus your industry peers. Sensitive data security is vital as any breach could lead to a loss of customer or stakeholder trust, reputational damage, legal repercussions, and severe financial losses. Additionally, ensuring you have cyber defense measures and strategies in place for sensitive data security is often a legal and compliance requirement.
