Security is nothing but protecting your data, digital assets, and 
digital devices from threats. In real life, assume you have a 
significant sum of money to protect it from being stolen. You 
may use lockers, safes, and banks in the same way we use 
different security measures to protect your organization’s data, 
digital assets, and digital devices.

The objective of IT security is to prevent unauthorized users, known 
as threat actors, from disrupting, stealing, or exploiting these assets, 
devices, and services. These dangers might come from the outside or 
from the inside, and they can be malicious or unintentional in their 
origin and character.
Before going into the topic in discussion: protecting our digital assets, 
let me tell you how our life would be without cybersecurity 
measures. Assume there is no cybersecurity in this digital world 
where our lives mostly depend on social media, digital transactions, 
and the internet. It is like keeping our locker with valuable things 
open for thieves. Our private data may be stolen; our bank accounts 
can get hacked, our social media accounts can be hacked. There will 
be no privacy because hackers can invade it in no time. Yes, our life 
can be this horrible without CyberSecurity.

Before taking the security measures, you need to know what are 
the digital assets that your company owns:
The digital assets can include:
•Your company’s official social media account and posts in it.
•Your company’s website, domain name, and all the content in it.
•Business processes like manuals and spreadsheets.
•Visual graphics that your company generated.
•Applications that you have developed.
•Client list and customer details.
•Intellectual assets like patents and trademarks.

Now, let me tell you how we can protect our digital assets and devices 
with simple and basic security measures.
1. Secure the company’s Wi-Fi and stay up to date: Firstly, you must 
update your software frequently because the old versions can not 
prevent new hacking methods. Furthermore, Wi-Fi is becoming an 
integral element of most enterprises. As a result, you must adhere to Wi-
Fi security best practices to protect your digital assets. Ensure your router 
is kept in a physically safe position, change the network name, ensure the 
firewall is enabled, and regularly update the firmware and software.
2. Maintain a Data Backup: Data Backup is a process of copying the data 
files and storing them in a different location. We can restore the files 
whenever we want. Data Backup is very important: assume your system 
got crashed, or assume your system got locked by some ransomware that 
is when you can use the backed up data. All you need to do is “ctrl c” the 
data and “ctrl v”; that’s it now. You need not worry about losing your 
organization’s data.

3. Two-step verification: In the world of cybercrimes hoping 
that a password can save your data is nothing but your 
innocence. There are many social engineering techniques 
where a cybercriminal can easily get the credentials of your 
social media accounts, your bank accounts, or any other private 
accounts. So the only solution to escape the attacks is to have 
two-step verification. This is nothing but using an OTP to login 
into your accounts.
This method is helpful because you will receive the OTP to your 
mobile (physical device), which an attacker cannot access. Even 
if the attacker knows your credentials, he cannot log in to your 
account until they have the OTP.

4. Limit Access: Restricting access to digital assets and systems 
reduces the risk of loss or theft. Limiting access is a crucial step 
in protecting digital assets. Make sure that only those workers 
who need to use digital assets and systems have access to 
them. Authorized users of these systems should follow data 
security best practices, including password protection and 
authentication while utilizing personal devices and other risk 
factors.
5. Cyber Insurance: Cyber insurance is kind of similar to regular 
insurance. For example, take health insurance. This health 
insurance can compensate for the money when you are ill. You 
can pay your medical bills with health insurance. Similarly, 
Cyber Insurance can compensate for the costs of your data loss 
and investigations of cyberattacks.

6. Document Protocols: Create a calendar and set timelines for 
activities like backups, upgrades, and software reviews using an 
ongoing schedule and calendar. Make a list of your company’s current 
protocols, and make sure to update them as required in the future. 
Guidelines for digital asset management should be viewed as a 
dynamic document that changes and evolves as content, 
applications, and programs mature and evolve.
