Many organizations recommend implementing strong authentication measures for user access, protecting devices with robust security software and ensuring that anti-virus measures are kept up to date. Furthermore, companies should establish policies and procedures for employees to follow such as encryption of data storage media and strict control over data sharing.  It is also critical to regularly review network architecture, vulnerabilities in the system, and malicious software to guard against unauthorized access attempts. Finally, businesses should ensure that adequate procedures are in place for notifying users after a breach has occurred.
