Data Privacy Day – Qualys Shares Insights For Effective Data Security

On Data Privacy Day, we are reminded of the critical importance of safeguarding personal information and empowering organisations to protect their digital assets. In an era where data is a key currency, it’s vital to prioritise transparency, trust, and the responsible use of information to foster a secure digital environment for all Australians. 

As technology adoption accelerates, organisations face growing challenges, including misconfigurations, insider threats, and data leakage. These risks often arise from implementing new technologies without adequate security controls and a strong architectural foundation. 

The path to effective data security lies in striking a balance between innovation and robust risk management practices. By embedding security into the core of business strategies, organisations can mitigate threats and build a safer digital future.
