5 Key Ways to Boost Your Online Privacy
Incidents involving the mishandling of consumer data have made headlines recently. Amazon was fined a record $887 million for violating consumer privacy laws, and WhatsApp reportedly lost millions of customers after its privacy policy was updated and proved unpopular due to privacy issues. Recent reports indicate that in response to the pandemic and new legislation, privacy budgets increased by 13% last year to $2.7 million from $2.4 million for the average organization.
Clearly, privacy is at the top of everyone’s mind as digital footprints have surged in the wake of the pandemic. Privacy has also proved beneficial for organizations, especially small and medium-sized businesses. Recent statistics show us that SMBs have reportedly gained benefits of $3.0 million (typically benefits worth 1.8 times their privacy investment) on average.
So, more and better privacy is a good thing. In this guest post, Andrew Dalman will talk about key ways in which users can protect their online privacy better. For more information on how your organization can help guarantee employee and user privacy, please reach out to IT security Vancouver.
