The Different Types of Data Safety
There are many types of data security, however the most important ones include:
Authentication is the process of verifying that the individuals who access your information authentically who they claim to be. This includes passwords multifactor identification, passwords and other methods of identity verification.
Encryption is the process of converting data into an unreadable form to ensure that only those who have the correct keys can view it. This secures sensitive data in transit and at rest including databases, files and email communications.
Monitoring – The practice which prevents malicious actors from gaining access to or moving data out of your organization’s networks by blocking or intercepting data at the gateway. This may include data-loss prevention (DLP) and encryption and training employees on the best practices.
Backups -The ability to quickly and securely restore data in the event of a system malfunction or cyberattack, as well as a disaster or data breach. This can be achieved by creating copies of the data in a different format or by placing it in the cloud.
Data minimization is the process of only keeping information that is necessary to your business. This helps reduce your vulnerability since hackers will have fewer targets to attack. It also saves you money on storage and avoids bloat which could result in compliance issues.
