Data security software shields information from unauthorized access and security breaches by leveraging advanced security protocols, data backup mechanisms, and much more. Data encryption and real-time tracking as well as automated backup capabilities, and access control are a few of the main features. These tools guard sensitive data from cyber-attacks, and allow businesses to recognize suspicious activity fast.
Data protection tools should be able to detect a variety including ransomware, malware and other encryption algorithms that encrypt data and then remove it from systems. They must also offer an extensive set of data analytics that can be used to identify the way in which data is exposed or exploited.
The best products in this area also provide additional security tools that tackle specific data risks and threats such as firewalls for databases that block SQL injection and other attacks such as identity and access management that monitors privileged users to identify excessive or inappropriate privileges, dynamic data masking that obscures sensitive information so that it is inaccessible to bad actors even if they were to extract it as well as data loss prevention (DLP) that analyzes the data in motion, whether at rest on servers, in cloud storage, or on endpoint devices.
Take into consideration the kind of data your company handles and how much storage it needs to determine how much capacity you need. Look at your compliance needs to ensure the solution will accommodate your data storage and handling requirements. Review the final version, evaluating the performance and timeliness of the support services provided by the vendor.
