Is your company one exposed file away from a security disaster?

We all know IT security is critical. But in the daily whirlwind of deadlines and urgent tasks, some things inevitably slip down the priority list. One of those things? Keeping track of who has access to your company’s externally shared files. 

It’s easy to think, “What’s the big deal? It’s just one file.” But that’s exactly where the danger lies.

Just one exposed file is all it takes. One file with sensitive client data, financial information, or internal strategy documents falling into the wrong hands can have devastating consequences. 

Think:

• Massive fines: Data privacy laws are getting stricter. Non-compliance can result in penalties that reach millions of euros.
• Reputational damage: Trust takes years to build and seconds to shatter. A data breach can irreparably harm your company’s image.
• Competitive disadvantage: Your competitors would love to get their hands on your confidential data.
• Increased cyberattacks: Exposed data can make your company a prime target for phishing scams and other malicious attacks.

Human error is a major culprit in data exposure. Accidental shares, misconfigured permissions, or even malicious insiders can all lead to sensitive information being leaked.

With organizations now using various platforms to share files, this ease of sharing, while boosting productivity, also increases the potential security breaches.

The reality is, that single “insignificant” file could be the key to unlocking a trove of sensitive information. It could be a spreadsheet containing customer contact details, a presentation outlining your next product launch, or a document detailing your financial projections. Once that file is exposed, the damage is done.
