Data security software guards data from unauthorized access, breaches, and other threats by leveraging advanced protection protocol, data backup mechanisms and more. Key features include encryption of data real-time monitoring backup functions that are automated, and access controls. These tools protect sensitive data from cyber-attacks and allow businesses to detect suspicious activity quickly.
Data protection tools should be able of identifying a wide variety of threats such as ransomware, malware and other that employ cryptographic algorithms to encrypt and exfiltrate data from systems. They should also provide a robust set analytics that can be used to determine whether data was exposed or exploited.
The most reliable products also provide additional security tools to tackle specific data risks. These include database firewalls to block SQL injections and other attacks, identity management to monitor privileged users and identify excessive or inappropriate privileges. Dynamic data masking obfuscates information, rendering it unusable to criminals, even if it is obtained.
It is important to think about the kind of data your company uses and how much storage you use in order to determine how much capacity is needed. Examine your compliance requirements to ensure the solution will accommodate your requirements for handling and storage of data. Review the final version, evaluating the quality and the speed of the vendor’s support.
