There is a wide range of tools, techniques, and services you can utilize to protect your sensitive data on a daily basis while enjoying social media, online gaming, or simply surfing the web! I will be digging into a lot of those today in detail, which may include various companies you can look to for help, tools that you can purchase, or tricks to the trade that can be used to guide you, but ultimately; "Knowledge is power!"
Data Security Tools
Encryption - In the ways of cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding information! This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form called ciphertext. Ideally, only authorized parties can decipher a ciphertext back to plaintext and access the original information.
Intrusion Prevention Systems - Intrusion Detection & Prevention Systems, or IDPS, monitor network traffic and system activity to detect and prevent unauthorized access.
Email Security - The best way to utilize top email security is do your homework on potential carriers you are interested in. Choose IT providers that have robust automated email filters for detecting threats such as spam, phishing, scams, and viruses!
Data Protection Software - Software, in a general sense, refers to a collection of programs and data that tell a computer how to perform specific tasks. Software also includes associated documentation. Finally, this is in contrast to the hardware of a system, which is basically the skeleton of the device, and is what performs the work.
Endpoint Security - Endpoints are the different devices that connect to your internet setup at home or at work, phones, tablets, computers, printers, etc. What's nice about this is each device usually comes with its own security options, so chances are you will not have to look very far!
Data Backups - Cloud storage is the most effective way to back up your data safely!
Software Testing - This term refers to the act of checking whether software meets expectations or not. Testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and the risk of its failure to a user or sponsor.
Polar Security - This type of design monitors dynamic data flows and alerts in real-time that holds any type of non-compliance! Polar security has become known as a true solution for modern data management.
Firewalls - These tools aim to assist in ensuring that only authorized users have access to your organization's data through the use of monitoring and filtering network traffic according to your security rules and helps block threats such as ransomware and virus attempts.
Access Control - This is a type of system that allows the company IT administration team to define who within the organization can access which files and networks.
