Knowbe4 Urges Action: Take Control Of Your Data This Data Privacy Week
KnowBe4, Wednesday, January 28th, 2026
With organizations collecting and storing massive amounts of personal data these days, much of which people share freely, we need to become better at protecting data on both the storing and sharing side of things.
Organizations must have strong data protection measures in place and everyone should start being more digitally mindful when sharing their own personal data. Ultimately, being careful of what we put out there is the best way to reduce cyberattacks and data breaches.
For organizations, data privacy is a continuous process, not a once-a-year tick-box exercise. Reducing human risk and minimizing data collection are important strategies for data security. For individuals, it's time to kick start digital mindfulness. Privacy is not about hiding, it's about controlling your data. Taking small, consistent steps can beat one big privacy overhaul.
KnowBe4's CISO advisors provide practical advice to both organizations and individuals to take control of their data this Data Privacy Week.
