Protect Business Data Against Cyber Crooks-ESET Nigeria

The Managing Director, ESET Nigeria, and Ghana, Mr. Olufemi Ake, says encrypting data and creating an additional authentication for its accessibility in organizations are a few ways to help in meeting the new data security and compliance rules.

Mr. Olufemi Ake who spoke at the weekend during a zoom conference organized to discuss how organizations could comply with the data protection regulations, say he sought compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), arguing that it will impact data protection governance, information systems, and security configuration, as well as documented policies and processes.

He said organizations, both public or private, which operate in the country are expected to comply with the NDPR, adding that these requirements are already in force, and its implications are complex and the potential penalties for non-compliance are severe.

“Compliance with this regulation will impact Data Protection Governance, Information Systems & Security Configuration, as well as Documented Policies & Processes,” he said. He also expressed the readiness of the firm to assist organizations in NDPR compliance.
