WHY CYBERSECURITY IS THE ANSWER FOR THE SHARING ECONOMY?

WHY CYBERSECURITY IS THE ANSWER FOR THE SHARING ECONOMY?

Shared rides, apartments, and parking spaces have become a common earning source for millions of people. The world is undergoing a massive shift towards a sharing economy, where the peers have direct access to each other’s assets (for a limited time, of course). 

However, the biggest danger of this evolving economy is vulnerable DATA; your personal and important information. When companies don’t deploy corporate-level security measures on their assets, it results in irreversible damage. The same thing happened with the global ride-sharing service, Uber, in 2016, when a hacker accessed its most sensitive user-data because of the security cracks. 

Now when the world has merged from a pandemic, sharing and gig economies are the buzz. Instead of following the traditional business means, companies prefer the more sustainable approach with some extra security measures. Cybersecurity is protecting businesses from privacy breaches, along with enabling them for long-term changes. 

Here’s how cybersecurity helps the sharing economy: 

Identification of the Threats 

When the companies shift to a globally-accessible security network, it helps small businesses identify the upcoming threats. Currently, most companies don’t have systems in place to identify cyber threats. However, cybersecurity networking is a safe and easy way out for big corporations that seek sustainability. 

Proactive Approach 

Instead of incident response, cybersecurity measures work as a proactive approach to mitigate business threats. Accessing and interpreting cloud data enables a company’s CISOs to pinpoint the weak points, ensuring timely changes. Since on-premises data is threatened, corporate security policies are needed to protect it. Third-party privileged access is the primary threat to the sharing economy. But with the essential security practices for workers and external accessors, these dangers can be halted. 

Data Accessibility 

Informed decisions are crucial to the corporate world. With cloud-based cybersecurity in-place, data accessibility is more manageable for the companies, which supports their end goal, i.e. data protection. Dependable cloud platforms help analysts to have a bird’s eye on the available data and put the puzzle pieces together to take quick decisions. In the sharing economy, analysts are always on the lookout for a trustworthy information source so that they can craft mitigation strategies accordingly; and cloud cybersecurity does precisely that.

Collective Mitigation

When organizations join hands to secure their important data over the cloud, privacy breaches remain at bay. Having a collective mitigation strategy is always better than relying on a single standing one. Therefore, it’s about time the business giants start focusing on cloud cybersecurity instead of keeping their data on-premises and exposing it to constant threats. 

With new changes in the global economy, security threats are also on-the-rise. If the corporate world wants to mitigate these business risks without affecting their work progress, cloud cybersecurity is the way out. It lets organizations generate a strong data centre where the analysts pinpoint threats and plan preventive measures. The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world hard and affected the economic giants in all aspects. The only long-term and actionable way for a better future is to secure the assets, i.e. DATA!
