Data Security?
Data security is the practice of
protecting sensitive information
from unauthorized access,
11001010101010
11001010101010
corruption, or theft throughout
its lifecycle.
It involves implementing various
security measures like encryption,
access control, and secure storage
to safeguard data.

Encryption Techniques
Encryption is a process that
11001010101010
converts plaintext data into a
11001010101010
scrambled format, making it
unreadable without the correct
decryption key. Encryption
protects data during storage and
transmission, ensuring its
confidentiality.

Access Management
Access management involves controlling who can view or modify data
and systems within an organization.
It ensures that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data
11001010101010
11001010101010
by using techniques like authentication (e.g., passwords, biometrics)
and authorization (e.g., role-based access control).
Strong access management prevents unauthorized users from gaining
access to critical systems and data.

Storage and Data Backup
What is Data Backup?
Data backup is the process of
creating copies of important files
and data to protect them from
11001010101010
11001010101010
loss, corruption, or accidental
deletion.
Backups are essential for
maintaining business continuity,
ensuring that in case of hardware
failure, natural disasters, or
cyberattacks, data can be restored
quickly.

Backup Security
Backup security involves protecting
backup data from loss, corruption, and
11001010101010
11001010101010
unauthorized access. It includes
encryption, access control, and physical
security to safeguard backup storage
devices.
Backups should be regularly tested for integrity to ensure they can be
restored when needed.

Protecting Backups from Ransomware and Other Threats
Ransomware and other cyber
threats pose significant risks to
11001010101010
11001010101010
backup data. To protect backups
from such threats, organizations
should implement layered security
measures like frequent backup
snapshots, encryption, and air-
gapped backups (backups stored in
isolated systems not connected to
the network).

Security Measures for Physical and Cloud Backups
Security measures for physical backups
include storing backup media (e.g., tapes,
11001010101010
11001010101010
hard drives) in secure locations with
restricted access and environmental
controls.
Backup devices should be protected by
locks, surveillance systems, and fire
suppression equipment.
