Vulnerabilities can vary from company to company and business to business depending on the field and the type organisation. Most instances of data theft as proven over the years by various cases worldwide, take place from within a company via its employees. Data loss, in today’s world ruled by the internet and its spawned loopholes is simply unavoidable. This is why most companies and organisations always stack up their defence’s online in order to avoid attacks from hackers; leading to data theft or mismanagement. This is again a common reason as to why businesses in Dubai and Abu Dhabi prefer having their servers and other valuable and vital company documents and records stored within the company’s facilities. Vulnerabilities can vary from company to company and business to business depending on the field and the type organisation. Most instances of data theft as proven over the years by various cases worldwide, take place from within a company via its employees. All competitors need to do, is simply provide the right incentive to a vulnerable employee and the job gets done in a jiffy. ‘Vulnerability’ then, can either be attributed to the inability of a company to keep up with their employees’ interests; or an external factor which cannot be controlled or governed by an organisation. In the first case, most companies often do their best to take care off or gratify their employees’ interests by simply providing them with the right incentives. The second case is simply off-limits for the company because it could invade the privacy of the employee. But there is a third factor, the ones that most companies often forget; the ones that most companies themselves are responsible for. They encourage the simplest forms of data theft and open loopholes within a company that are not easy to close-down or keep an eye on. Some of the most common points for vulnerabilities to occur have been listed below. • Mobile and home-based workforce, laptops and portable devices are common devices which organizations and companies casually hand out to employees and which if stolen can easily be broken into. • Mishandling and theft of back-up tapes • Paper handling and dumpster diving are the most common ways that identity thieves will scavenge for when it comes to finding information. Most large organizations casually dump loads of unnecessary paperwork, forgetting that every bit of information on them can lead to bigger problems. What makes the situation even more complicated is when personal consumer data of clients leak out leading to lawsuits and large fines. • Call centers or help desks that form a part of company’s customer service branch also leads to data loss or data theft, especially when it comes to personal consumer data. • Improper access or broad access controls • Unauthorized software and use of peer-to-peer networks or accidental file sharing • Records retention Most third party records management companies in Dubai are well-aware of such vulnerabilities and the resulting consequences those actions, which is why they design and secure the flow of information within their records and document storage facilities, avoiding even the smallest signs of data-leaks.
