Secure Technologies and Data Storage
09 октомври, 2023
As organizations become more aware of the importance of data to drive business processes, they’re increasingly concerned about securing their data. This means securing sensitive information from threats such as hackers, natural disasters which can wipe out storage devices and unauthorized deletion or damage by employees. It’s a challenge that requires the balance of three key concerns such as integrity, confidentiality and accessibility.
Secure Technologies and Data Storage
Data storage security refers to the collection of technical, physical and administrative controls that protect the data and systems from unauthorized access and tampering, as well as theft or destruction. It’s a method that encompasses hardware management, application development and security for networks. A comprehensive security plan, with clear policies and plans, is the most effective way to manage storage.
Depending on the industries and countries in which companies operate, there may be regulations that impact data security. These include PCI-DSS Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA. While these regulations define requirements for security but they typically leave it to the organization to decide which methods and tools they use to protect their information.
One of the most favored and tested methods of securing data is encryption that makes files unreadable without a signed key. The cryptographic processing may affect the performance of applications and cause them to slow down. Intel(r) Software Guard Extensions, such as aid in increasing security and speed up encryption without impacting performance. This allows organizations to have the best of both: improved performance, and stronger data protection.
