Data Privacy Day – CyberArk’s Insights For Organisations To Protect Privacy

As Data Privacy Day approaches, discussions often lean toward pessimism, with increased cyber threats and exposed data dominating the narrative. However, it’s important to recognise the positive strides made in Australia throughout 2024, building the right foundations to protect data privacy with key privacy reforms passing through Parliament and a reduction in the number of cyber crimes reported by the ACSC. We should therefore all be encouraged that we are forging the right path.

Nonetheless, the work is far from over and this year’s theme “Take Control of your Data” is a powerful reminder that every individual and organisation has a role to play in protecting privacy. True control requires action, vigilance, and collaboration from all of us.

It’s essential that business and cyber leaders continue to prioritise proactive measures to safeguard data privacy as the challenges ahead are formidable. The ever-expanding volumes of data, rapid advancements in technologies like AI, and of course increasingly sophisticated threat actors demand unwavering focus and action.

Identity security is a critical pillar of data privacy. Deploying robust workforce identity management solutions and protecting user credentials are essential steps in minimising risk and preventing breaches. By prioritising identity security, organisations and individuals alike can take meaningful strides toward truly taking control of their data.
