Data breaches are increasing in a shocking number, and there is no doubt that by the next year, the number of data breaches is going to get doubled. Not that organizations are not aware or warned about it, but they definitely are not sure about the extent of loss they can suffer from due to data breach. So, does that mean that they are not prepared for a data breach? Or are they simply avoiding the fact that data breach can happen to them as well? Even if you know that data breach can cost you a lot, and it will consume a lot of time to recover the data loss, you should never take data breach lightly. It is time to take action and safeguard your company from all kinds of threats.

So, here are a few things you can do to prevent data breach:
