Dressing your organisation in a Data Suit to Shield from a Sting of a Breach

A few weeks ago, the Hyplon Security team experienced a beekeeping tour in which we saw similarities between a beekeeper wearing an appropriate suit to safely and efficiently access delicious honey from a hive and a current project we are working on around protecting data appropriately to prevent unauthorised access.

As the team suited up in beekeeping suits to shield us from bee stings while watching the process of beekeeping closeup, afterwards we discussed how akin the beekeeping suit is to protecting an organisation’s data. The beekeeping suits serve as a defense against bee stings, much like appropriate cyber security controls protect an organisation’s valuable data from unauthorised users as data is the lifeblood of an organisation as honey is to a beehive.
