When it comes to data breaches, your reputation is everything.
No dealership should go it alone in the wild.

At CDK Global, we'll help you protect your data and reputation by providing the expertise, partnership and industry-specific support that your business needs. We've refreshed the look of our ongoing SecurityFirst initiative, and we're putting a stronger focus on three areas that will help you take action to help defend your dealership from cyberthreats.

1. Expand your awareness

Effective cybersecurity requires a focus in three areas: people, process and technology. The more you know, the more you can do to help protect your dealership. We'll help you tap into knowledge, insight and best practices, so you can further improve the security of your dealership.

2. Expand your visibility

What you don't know not only can affect your business but may also impact the many customers that you do business with. We'll help you gain visibility into all data connections on your CDK DMS with our free Dealer Data Exchange (DDX) solution. DDX helps you identify non-authorized third parties and software and see approved integrations for CDK data through our Third Party Access Program.

3. Armor up your defenses

When it comes to the automotive industry, not all cybersecurity is the same or tailored to your business. CDK helps you leverage specific industry-related solutions such as Nuspire, Forcepoint and Fortinet to help you defend your data, users and network against threats and attacks.

CDK Global is dedicated to providing information to help you protect your data and reputation — easily and conveniently — so you can put SecurityFirst. Visit these resources for important information for your dealership:
