Computer data security: necessity and myth

There is no such thing as 100% protection for your computer. But this does not mean that you cannot prevent unauthorized access to your data.

Once I was having a discussion with my colleagues about security issues and the ways in which information can be protected. Our main objective was to understand if the products of the Dekart family can be used to guarantee the protection of data access. We were talking about the existing software, about the devices available to buyers, and about the percentage of security that we can get from these tools available in the modern market so far. We also touch on the other side of protection: its vulnerability. We came to the conclusion that it is not easy to protect information, as there are many developers of well-established (to put it nicely) strategies and methods, whose goal is to know what is valuable to you.

But still, there are instructions that we can work on to minimize the risks of unauthorized access to our data. Here they are.

1. If you want to protect your data, it is important to ensure the security of the building (office, home), access and protection. There are many security agencies available in the market, which can be of great help. They have different strategies and protection tools. But since this isn’t directly related to your computer, we’ll let the specialists in the area tell us about it and move on.

2. Hardware protection. There are many tools available for computer protection, such as physical computer locks, which can be locked through a hole in the desk/object, or can be locked onto a mounting bracket attached to the vertical surface. There are different kits, mostly made up of security cables and padlocks. These anti-theft devices are designed for laptops and PCs, with special requirements adjusted for different models.

3. Limitation of access to computer data. There are tolls and software, which can be used for home and business computer access protection. Multi-factor authentication (with password, PIN and biometrics) can be used with Dekart Logon software, which can be of great help in storing all passwords for Windows machines on a removable storage device and adding strong authentication and comfort to Windows standard. login procedure.

4. Encryption of information. While we were talking about these topics, we could see that there is a tool that can protect data, even if it is stolen, even if the most brilliant hackers are working to know about it. It’s amazing! We were surprised to learn that any important data can be stored and encrypted with Dekart Private Disk, which is a user-friendly, reliable, user-friendly and smart program. It is helpful to create encrypted disk partitions (drive letters) to keep private and confidential data safe. It uses the advanced 256-bit encryption standard. So here is a risk-free solution to protect data!

5. Email protection.

6. And the last important thing to keep in mind is that you don’t forget to make sure that you have the same plans for the part of the world that God has in terms of cracks in the ground, tsunami, etc.

Together with our colleagues, we have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a perfect security environment, although it is absolutely unwise to ignore existing risks and minimize available solutions to this problem. At least we were satisfied with the Dekart products we were testing, so we decided to get Dekart Private Disk and Dekart Logon.

This is not such a difficult subject to understand. We just wanted to encourage you to think about the solutions out there. Just look for the information and act!
