Privacy Important?
The growth of the complete eco-
system of connected technology,
t e c h n i c a l a d v a n c e m e n t ,
a f f o r d a b i l i t y , e d u c a t i o n ,
adoption, and seamless data
sharing has led to the increased
importance of data protection &
privacy. It is extremely important
to safeguard information from
compromise, corruption, or loss.
Minimizing the Protection Gaps
To minimize the gap, we need to
work on the following areas:
Purpose: Of usage, transfer,
and storage.
Non-disclosure agreement
and audit: On personalized and
specific datasets
Security Level definition:
Defining the life of storage,
setting disposal mechanism
o f authority, authentication, and

beneficiaries on access to
breaches.
Recovery Post an Attack
Isolation of affected devices and
applications helps control
further loss.

data and usage, you may take a
call to fix the patch to stop the
attack so that the application or
device begins to handle the
attack themselves.

then plan the action and

Prevention is better than Cure
It is better to be ready with a
backup mechanism and use
proper tools and techniques to
safeguard the data. A fall back
plan with a faster response to
attacks may minimize the extent
of the loss.
