The Importance of Document Tracking & Logs for Data Security
The core of every modern organization’s business model is that knowledge is power, and information tools can enable them to make smarter decisions. And yet, somehow, these core principles seem to have been forgotten when managing their own company’s operations to prevent a data breach. Most companies that have been hit by a preacher struggle to understand precisely what took place because of the limited information about access to their own sensitive and confidential documents and data. Big data vendors, for instance, have billions of data files that can be used to produce a report listing any individual’s credentials in a matter of seconds. But when a data breach occurs, especially by malicious hackers bent on identity theft, these companies generally struggle to figure out what specific records or data have been removed.
