Privacy is a right every citizen is entitled to wherever in the world one lives. Data speaks of an individual more than anything else he/she owns. Data, be it personal or professional is bound to a certain set of privacies.
When it comes to data the awareness regarding online fraud, data theft, password guessing, recording keystrokes and many other such data breaches is very limited.
In order to educate and create awareness about data and its privacy threats, January 28th is marked as the International Data Privacy Day.
A little deeper dive to know more on the above mentioned data privacy issues and some tips, or more precisely the do’s and don’t with your data. Let’s roll in quickly to understand the recommendations to keep your personal data and its sensitive information protected.
Firewall Security
The key factor is to have a proper firewall system installed. Making conscious choices on a Threat Intelligent software would be a good investment.
Control Over Privileges
The hierarchical system can be used to provide the right access to the system for the different users according to their needs. It is very important to limit the privilege of who can perform network-wide or further lesser system-wide actions using the Administrator rights.
Password Authentication
Hackers usually use scripts and algorithms in a particular sequence until the passwords match by luck making the intruder capable of taking control over the data. Unique passwords with multiple combinations and basically giving a thought to set your password will be a sensible action.
Encryption
Sensitive data which are to be transferred through LAN/WAN should be encrypted. As a result of any kind of attacks during transmission, the violator cannot read your information though having gained access to your data.
Applications that comply with Data Privacy Policy
Always choose applications that comply with data privacy or security compliances such as GDPR, HIPPA, etc.
