DataPrivacyDay - Companies urged to do more about data privacy as experts warn of growing volume of cyber threats. Brian Pinnock of Mimecast says companies must protect personal information of customers ~

Saturday, January 28th was Data Privacy Day, an international event that aims to promote awareness of privacy and data protection best practices.

“Recent Mimecast research found that 70% of South African organisations believe the risk of cyberattacks will increase over the next two years,” he says. “While this may sound like an IT or cybersecurity issue, consider the impact on the brand’s reputation and the knock-on effects on customers when there’s a successful cyberattack.”

Seventy-three percent said they’d stop spending money with their favourite brand entirely if they fell victim to a phishing attack involving that brand. And nearly all said they expect their favourite brand to ensure their services – including their website, emails and other communication, are safe to use.
