  1. 5 WAYS TO SECURE YOUR DATA

  2. WHY SECURE YOUR DATA Protection of data is critical for most business and sometimes even for home computer users. It is potentially dangerous if the important and crucial information falls into the wrong hands. Though data can be lost due to variety of reasons bit losing it to malware infections or trackers can have much disastrous consequence. So let us look at the possible ways to secure our data from unauthorized accesses.

  3. 1. Back up your data often Most important step to protect your data is to back it up regularly. There are plenty of ways to do it. If you have external USB hard drive you can back up to that drive using your computer’s built in backup features. You can even use Windows Backup, Time machine or connect the drive to the computer and use the backup tool. Also rather than storing your files on your computer’s hard drive, you can store them on Google Drive, Microsoft Onedrive.

  4. 2. Protecting data by using EFS (Encrypting File system) One solution to reduce the potential for stolen data is to encrypt sensitive files using Encrypting File System (EFS) to increase the security of your data. Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In order to use EFS, users must have Encrypting file system documents to encrypt and decrypt data. EFs users must have the permission from NTFS to modify the files.

  5. 3. Using Public Key infrastructure A public key infrastructure is technical mechanisms and policies needed to create and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption enabling users and computers to securely exchange data. A certificate authority issues certificates to individuals and groups after verifying their identity, Certificate based security is stronger. The person who can decrypt it is the holder of the public key which makes your data even more secure.

  6. 4. Protecting through Internet Protocol Security IPsec provides security, integrity and confidentiality at packet processing layer of network communication. IPSec provides two types of security Authentication Header which authenticates the sender of data and Encapsulating Security Payload which authenticates and encrypts the data of the sender.

  7. 5. Protecting log in information For various sites we use most of us have many user names and passwords. Hence there are management services with web interface which stores encrypted passwords in private accounts. So storing private data becomes easier and it is safe.
