DATA PROTECTION AT THE STAGES OF ITS FUNCTIONING

Abstract

Today, computer and information technologies have covered all areas of the economy. For any modern company, information becomes one of the main resources, the preservation and proper management of which is of key importance for business development and reducing the level of various risks. Ensuring information security is an urgent problem today.

Methods of data security depend, among other things, on the state of the data. Taking into account what was said in the article, an attempt was made to consider the methods of data security depending on the data states (data at rest; data being transmitted; used data).

So, for example, the state of inactive data (state of rest) is characterized by methods of security: in the form of the use of various encryption methods, access rights management, for example, such as SealPath, the use of MDM tools (they allow you to limit access to certain corporate programs, block access to a device or encrypt data on a mobile phone or tablet), DLP (data leakage prevention), CASB (cloud access security brokers): These are systems that allow us to apply security policies to the documentation we have in cloud systems, for example, such as Office 365, Box, Salesforce, etc.

For the state of the transmitted data, typical methods of security in the form of application: encryption of e-mail; managed file transfer, such as MFT technology; DLP technologies provide protection because they can detect if sensitive data is being sent outside the organization; CASB (Cloud Access Security Brokers): refers to data transmitted by an untrusted user for this type of data), it may be blocked for download; SealPath technologies; etc.

For the state of the data used, the typical methods of security in the form of application: in a successful case, digital rights protection technologies or IRM are recommended, which is one of the most effective means of data protection, because it combines encryption + permission management + identity control. This security allows documentation to be stored safely in its three states and tracked in any state sequentially.
