Encryption
Encryption is among the requirements of many standards such as ISO 27001, SOX, PCI, and is one of the fundamental concepts of information security.
There are many precautions that can be taken against unauthorized access. However, there is still a slight possibility of such access. Data should be protected even it falls into wrong hands, and this is when encryption comes into effect.
Some of the areas in which encryption is used are given below:
- To encode data in a database, database encryption is used. It is possible to encrypt either the whole database or certain columns.
- To prevent unauthorized access to backups, they can also be encrypted. Logs kept inside the system may also contain sensitive information, so collecting and encrypting logs at a central point can be helpful to protect this sensitive data.
- Laptop theft is a common problem. There are encrypting methods for hard disks to prevent data from leaking to unauthorized people. Using these methods, it would be impossible for such people to access your sensitive data.
