Data Breach
What is Data Breach? Data breach is an event where unauthorized individuals gain access to or disclose confidential, sensitive, or protected information. This can occur through various means, including cyberattacks like hacking, malware, or phishing, as well as through insider threats, accidental leaks, or security vulnerabilities. Data breaches often involve the exposure of personally identifiable […]
Data Masking
Data Masking Data masking is a method used in data security to protect sensitive information by altering the original data in a dataset, making it unreadable or less sensitive while maintaining its usability for testing, development, and analytics. This technique involves substituting sensitive data with random characters or altered values, ensuring that the original data […]
Data Integrity
Data Integrity Data integrity refers to maintaining the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data over its entire lifecycle. It ensures that data is not altered, deleted, or corrupted in an unauthorized manner, whether through intentional or accidental actions. Measures to ensure data integrity include access controls, encryption, and audit logs, which help protect data from unauthorized […]
Data Encryption
Data Encryption Data encryption describes the cryptographic transformation of data into a form that conceals its original content to prevent it from being known or used. Decoding the encoded information requires the correct key. Enterprise DRM provides an additional layer of security through its data-centric combination of encryption and access control. Fasoo Enterprise DRM, for example, encrypts files containing sensitive […]
Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery Disaster recovery is a set of policies, procedures, and tools designed to restore critical information systems, data, and operations after a disruptive event such as a natural disaster, cyberattack, or hardware failure. Disaster recovery aims to minimize downtime and data loss, ensuring business continuity. It involves regular data backups, off-site storage, and detailed […]
Data Protection
Data Protection Data protection refers to measures and practices designed to safeguard data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction. This includes protecting data from various threats, such as cyber-attacks, data breaches, accidental deletion or corruption, and physical disasters. Data protection typically involves implementing security controls and protocols, such as access controls, encryption, firewalls, intrusion […]
Data Visibility
Data Visibility Data visibility refers to the ability to access, view, and understand data. It is the process of making data accessible and usable to individuals and organizations for analysis and decision-making purposes. It involves having comprehensive insight into where data is located, how it is being accessed, used, and shared, and who is interacting with […]
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) refers to a strategic approach in cybersecurity that focuses on identifying, monitoring, and improving the security of an organization’s data. It provides comprehensive visibility into where sensitive data resides, how it is being used, and who has access to it, across various environments. By analyzing […]
Data Security Platform (DSP)
Data Security Platform (DSP) A Data Security Platform (DSP) is a comprehensive solution that enables organizations to protect their sensitive data from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure across various environments – such as on-premises, cloud, and hybrid setups – throughout its entire lifecycle. A data security platform provides organizations with a centralized and integrated approach […]
Digital Rights Management (DRM)
Digital Rights Management (DRM) Digital Rights Management (DRM) describes the tools, systems, and data-centric process used to automatically encrypt files and control file access privileges dynamically of unstructured data at rest, in use, and in motion. In the consumer space, DRM aims to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted material, such as computer software and multimedia files. […]
Data Classification
Data Classification Data classification is the process of organizing and categorizing data based on its level of sensitivity, importance, and confidentiality. This helps organizations manage their data more effectively by ensuring that sensitive information is protected and accessed only by authorized personnel. Data classification typically involves assigning labels or tags to data based on predetermined […]
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Data Loss Prevention (DLP) describes tools and methods to prevent sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or business-critical intellectual property, from leaving an organization without proper authorization. DLP software categorizes documents and emails and analyzes user behavior to restrict the transfer of data. The underlying rules and filters have to […]
