The Impact of Administration Change on Cybersecurity: Data Protection

Political transitions can introduce cybersecurity risks, especially in data protection and access control. New administrations' policy changes pose challenges such as:

• Data access vulnerabilities due to personnel changes
• Temporary protection gaps during transitions
• Increased risk of data exfiltration or sabotage

To mitigate these risks, organizations should:

• Anticipate vulnerabilities from political transitions
• Implement strong cybersecurity practices
• Provide comprehensive employee training
• Adjust policies to address threats

While administrative changes offer progress, they require heightened cybersecurity vigilance. Preparing for these challenges helps protect sensitive data.
