Visual hacking — a virtually untraceable approach to costly data breaches

Walk through your building. Note sensitive data you see on co-workers’ screens. Snap some pictures with your smartphone. Did anyone notice? If a visual hacker got hold of that information, what could they do with it? Information as simple as a username or email address can be leveraged to conduct a full scale cyberattack. And unlike digital breaches, visual hacking is as difficult to trace as it is to notice.

Consider this…
 

  • In the past year, organisations have seen a 135% increase in visual hacking problems.*
  • 72% of decisions makers surveyed say their organisation has taken proactive measures to prevent visual hacking in public places.*
  • Are you doing enough to protect the good reputation and financial health of your organisation?

    New and tightened regulations like the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) are just the beginning. Higher standards are being set for privacy protection across the board. Some Fortune 500 companies are beginning to enforce data security policies that include the use of privacy filters. They realise, now more than ever, organisations need to look beyond software privacy solutions.


Why is visual privacy important?
  • Stop. Think. Protect. That's our motto. That’s why 3M includes visual screen privacy in our data security policy. See why other Fortune 500 companies are following suit.
