DATA SECURITY
BY: Tristan Dingess
Fact #1
Software-based security solutions encrypt the data to prevent it from theft. However, a malicious program or a hacker could corrupt the data in order to make it unrecoverable, making the system unusable. Hardware-based security solutions can prevent read and write access to data and hence offers very strong protection against tampering and unauthorized access.
Fact #2
Backups are used to ensure data which is lost can be recovered and nowadays is very important to keep a backup.
Fact #3
Data Masking of structured data is the process of obscuring specific data within a database table or cell to ensure that data security is maintained and sensitive information is not exposed to unauthorized personnel.
