Data management can give businesses in Kenya the edge by improving organisational agility, decision-makingIssued by Evolution PR for CommvaultSince data is considered to be the new oil, good data management is key for businesses operating in Kenya as it enables improved organisational agility, better and faster decision-making and quicker problem-solving based on accurate, up-to-date information.
Unfortunately, many organisations in Kenya – across both the public and private sectors – still lack insight and understanding of where some of their critical data resides. This means that sensitive information can easily end up on unauthorised devices or e-mail accounts outside of the organisation, without the organisation even being aware of this. This naturally increases the chances of a data breach, which can have various negative consequences.
Robust data security also ensures that critical enterprise data is backed up and can be recovered in the event that the primary source becomes unavailable. Organisations should also be aware that security becomes increasingly important when their data contains any personally identifiable information that needs to be carefully managed.
