Solution and tools available for data security
In the previous section, we briefly discussed what data security is and why it is needed. We also looked at a few common data security threats. The solutions and tools described here help mitigate or minimize the risk from the threats discussed in the previous section:
- Data discovery and classification: To ensure data security, it is important to discover sensitive information. This technique uses data discovery to classify data into various security labels (such as confidential, public, and so on). Once classification is done, security policies can be applied to the various classifications of data according to the organization’s needs.
- Firewalls: This is the first line of defense against any network intrusions. They exclude any undesirable traffic from entering the network. They also help open specific ports to the external network, which gives hackers less of a chance to enter the network.
- Backup and recovery:...
