How To Protect Your Important Data In A Complex Environment

How do you protect your important data in a complex environment?

The world's top IT event - Hannover electronics and the curtain has already begun.

This year, many exhibitors and visitors will also bring their own portable computers.

In order not to allow digital pickpockets to take advantage of your valuable data, please bear in mind some simple rules:

1. don't trust any unsafe network, because network thieves can disguise themselves as free Wi Fi networks to process your data.

2. please backup and encrypt the storage data in the mobile media before going on a business trip.

3. people and company data are all underground pactions and valuable.

So don't let similar mobile storage media keep away from your line of sight.

While dealing with technical safety, these basic rules must not be forgotten.

During the past several CeBIT sessions, the records of the Hannover police department showed that N laptops were missing every day.

"In general, data loss is a very sensitive matter," explains Ralf Benzm Benzm ller of the G Data security laboratory.

There are always a lot of bosses everywhere. Especially in the case of CeBIT, the most typical problem is the loss of data that keeps company secrets.

This is because cybercriminals are always there and wait for the time to get data that they think is valuable.

Because of the characteristics of stolen data and the consideration of considerable amounts of money, criminals and criminal organizations use underground trading to sell these sensitive items.

He gave some suggestions on this.

We will give G Data safety laboratory Ralf Benzm Benzm ller's advice as a safety tip to all the people who visited us.

Tip 1: make full backup.

Before you get ready to go on a business trip, you should make a backup of your important data.

In this way, even if the worst thing happens during a business trip, you can easily restore the missing data at the lowest cost after you finish your business trip.

Tip 2: implementing data health policy

Consider carefully whether you really need to travel with your laptop or cell phone that stores all the data.

Backup or delete data that is not currently needed.

Experts suggest that you backup the important documents regularly, kill viruses and upgrade the virus database.

Do not store important data under the system disk to prevent system crash and cause data loss.

In addition, UPS is configured to prevent illegal power failure. It can provide enough time for users to save and backup data during power failure.

Finally, experts also remind you to try not to use 3.5 inch floppy disk with low security performance. U disk is a good choice.

Tip 3:

Losing a laptop or expensive cell phone is annoying, but the loss is likely to be enormous.

Therefore, it is best to use powerful encryption tools to protect sensitive data such as sales data, financial data or software development.

Tip 4: check your equipment regularly.

"Temptation to make a thief" is a popular concept and fact.

Your negligence is more likely to attract the attention of the thieves! What do you do: lock your laptop with chain lock.

Always keep your phone and USB away from you, and take out memory if necessary.

Tip 5: away from the unencrypted "free" public wireless network.

For the petty bourgeoisie, sitting in an elegant cafe and surfing the Internet with coffee is a lazy enjoyment.

But for web thieves, the establishment of such a free public wireless network does not require their expensive input, so they will appear wherever possible to facilitate access to the data you are not encrypted.

Therefore, please use VPN or UMTS as far as possible, so that those who are interested in obtaining data will not be able to achieve their goals.
