Data Security
Data Security concerns the protection of data from accidental or intentional but unauthorized modification, destruction or disclosure through the use of physical security, administrative controls, logical controls, and other safeguards to limit accessibility.
Data security is the practice of securing your data. It’s also known as information security, IT Security, or electronic information security. Data can be secured using various hardware and software technologies. Some common tools are antivirus, encryption, firewalls, two-factor authentication, software patches, updates, etc.
Ways of securing data include:
- Data Encryption — converting the data into a code that cannot be easily read without a key that unlocks it.
- Data Masking — masking certain areas of data so personnel without the required authorization cannot look at it.
- Data Erasure — ensuring that no longer used data is completely removed and cannot be recovered by unauthorized people.
- Data Backup — creating copies of data so it can be recovered if the original copy is lost.
Data Security Training
Our Data Security Training Program is designed to provide basic data security awareness training to the workforce of global organizations. The course synthesizes data security best practices and explains them simply. The program focuses on key concepts of data security common to all organizations as well as guides on how to avoid costly data security breaches.
This course deals with topics in cryptography and data security. Students learn fundamental technical tools for cryptography and data security, as well as how to combine the tools to support various security requirements in computerized data processing, data storing and communication.
