Secure Technologies and Data Storage
Data storage and secure technologies are essential to protect the most important information of your company from hackers, natural catastrophes or accidental deletion. Storage solutions are also essential to ensure that you can recover data after a technology glitch or even a disaster that destroys your IT infrastructure. In the past security and data storage were often distinct issues but today’s IT teams are increasingly adopting DevSecOps models that integrate application development with security and spread the responsibility for security across the entire enterprise.
Data storage is therefore becoming an area of particular concern for IT security and a key component of cybersecurity strategies. Effective data storage security minimizes the chance of unauthorized access to stored information, tampering with data and ensures accountability and regulatory compliance.
Data security for storage is based on three fundamental tenets including data confidentiality, data integrity and robust disaster recovery systems for disaster recovery. The first principle is to ensure that the data stored is not damaged in any way. This is usually accomplished through encryption of data, which converts visible data into an encoded format which can only be decrypted with the appropriate key.
To safeguard against data loss experts advise using data loss prevention (DLP) solutions that are able to detect and stop attacks that are in progress. A secure network is an important aspect of security for data storage A good strategy should include firewalls, anti-malware defense gateways, security gateways, and intrusion detection systems.
