Digital and online strategic IT management: adapting for the future technologies are fantastic for making our lives simpler. However, they also come with certain dangers. The number of data breaches continue to increase and keeping personal data safe online is a concern for individuals as well as companies. The best way to secure your personal data is to keep it as private as is possible.

Be sure to backup your files regularly and store them somewhere other than your main workplace. In the event of a fire or fire, this will help to minimize the risk of losing your information.

Another tip is to only provide information that you need. Don’t give all the documents if, for example the person needs to review three company documents. The more access you grant them increases the chance that more of your information will end up in the wrong hands in the case of an incident of data leak or breach. Use devices that prevent unauthorised editing. If you and your colleagues are working on an Excel spreadsheet There are applications that can stop any changes to the numbers.
