Safe Data Storage
Secure data storage is among the most crucial elements of any enterprise information technology (IT) strategy. It involves identifying, mitigating and keeping sensitive or confidential data accessible to those who need it.
The most important aspect of secure data storage is to ensure that the physical security is as secure as it can be to stop unauthorised access from external attackers or internal attackers. This is done by using roles-based access control to limit the range and depth of access privileges a user has. It also involves using systems to record the removal and reentry of records in order to stop data from being removed or obtained by unauthorized users.
Another important element of safe data storage is the use of an extremely secure password to safeguard all records. Passwords should be difficult to guess, and shouldn’t be shared or left in plain view.
Finally, the use of immutable storage is a good way to deter bad actors from tampering with data stored on disks, SSDs and the cloud. This is achieved through a combination of encryption as well as other security measures, such as traffic profiling or machine learning based security systems that prevent data loss.
Any data storage system will never be impenetrable. However, the aim is to make it difficult to hack that the cost to hacker is more than what is worth the information. A comprehensive IT infrastructure to ensure safe data storage will also include regular updates and patches for all operating software and systems, as well as a robust network security infrastructure that blocks unauthorized users from accessing storage systems, and redundant storage to guard against hardware failure or natural disasters.
