Safe Data Storage

As the amount of data is growing exponentially, protecting digital assets becomes more essential. Secure data storage can help organizations avoid cyber threats and ransomware attacks, which could harm their valuable data. This article explains how to ensure data security, whether it’s physically stored on hard drives or USBs or online in cloud storage solutions.

Backups are an essential component of any safe storage system for data. A second copy of a file will ensure that in the event of malfunctioning device, theft or fire, you have a backup. This isn’t enough security against all dangers.

To make sure that backups are secure, storage administrators should follow some key guidelines:

Encryption – all sensitive data that is in transit or moving, should be secured. This ensures that no one will have access to the data unless they have the encryption keys, which must be kept in a separate place and regularly updated.

Anomaly detection — a strong security system for the network should be in place to recognize and take action on any unusual behavior that could indicate that an attack may be in progress. This is a great way to catch hackers in the act and prevent them from stealing information from storage systems.

Immutable storage — it’s best to have multiple copies of the same file, and the primary data rooms that change the daily routine copy should be unchangeable. This is similar to a time capsule that saves your data exactly as it was at the time of saving.
