Cybersecurity has become critical in protecting HR data against rising cyberattacks. This is particularly evident in recent incidents such as the British Library's ransomware attack by the Rhysida gang, which led to potential HR data breaches. Similarly, Five Guys faced a significant data breach, exposing sensitive applicant information.
These incidents are part of a larger trend of increasing cyber threats, with a notable 8% rise in global weekly cyberattacks in the second quarter of 2023. These attacks are becoming more sophisticated, often employing advanced AI in conjunction with traditional methods.
In light of these challenges, companies are now prioritizing cyber defenses more than ever. A prime example of this shift is the adoption of solutions like Dovetail HR Service Delivery Software. Dovetail not only enhances HR operations and the employee experience but also strengthens the security of HR data. It achieves this through a comprehensive security approach, including cloud security, compliance, encryption, authentication, role-based authorization, data residency, and retention. These measures form a robust defense against various cyber threats, ensuring the safety and integrity of HR data in an increasingly risky digital environment.
Building on the importance of robust defenses in this challenging digital landscape, let's now delve into the specific cybersecurity measures in place to protect Dovetail HR Service Delivery Software customers from cyber attacks.
