Data Loss Prevention ( Dlp )

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) focuses on the recovery of IT systems, applications, and data in the

The use of data in today’s commercials is a vital role that cannot be overlooked. That is there is a need to backup data on physical mediums. The main mediums are hard-drive, flash drive, optical disc, and tape drive. There is multiply different version of each main type of medium. These different physical mediums store data in different ways. Fragmentation can also be an issue for some of these physical mediums. I will cover each medium in a little depth because of the different types available in today’s market.

A calculation of the average cost of each data loss incident must take into account both possibilities. The ability to recover data depends on the cause of the data loss episode (Smith, 2003).

flow between sender and receiver, and perform the overall error control to recover any lost data to protect

One consequence of data classification is the need for a tiered storage architecture, which will provide different levels of security within each type of storage, such as primary, backup, disaster recovery and archive -- increasingly confidential and valuable data protected by increasingly robust security. The tiered architecture also reduces costs, with access to current data kept quick and efficient, and archived or compliance data moved to cheaper offline

data and risks will help a company to design strong policies, procedures and standards that will help to keep data secure.

(M3) & (M4) what do we mean by data integrity and security? Data is the most valuable commodity in a PC system. You need to plan and use procedures to enable the safe recovery of user data in the event of data loss during upgrading and also the safe recovery of the entire system in the event of catastrophic failure resulting from upgrading.

Steps are taken to maintain the confidentiality of data through digital signatures by the personnel and through the computer security assurance using the key coding and unlinking of the data.

In today’s IT world every organization has a responsibility to protect the information and sensitive data they have. Protecting data is not only responsibility of security and IT staff but every individual is involved in protecting the information. The risks to information security are not digital only, but it involves technology, people and process that an organization may have. These threats may represent the problems that are associated to complex and expensive solution, but doing nothing about these risks is not the solution.

Physical security will involve the company securing its assets by devices such as alarm system for off hour use, and identification cards for employees. A process should be in place to make sure that guests are properly identified before gaining assess to the facility. Users cannot take computer home unless they are protected by encryption software. Downloading proprietary information onto floppies, CD, thumb/flash/memory drives and other portable media should be disallowed unless such transactions are pre-approved and proper security measures are taken.

In the System/Access Domain people have the ability to collect and store information on the network from virtually any location. The issue of concern is the safety of the information. Does it contain viruses or malware? The next concern is private information or proprietary information leaving you facility. How can you prevent it? The concept of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) can assist with this process. DLP provides the ability to search policy and procedures to determine what is considered private or confidential information which assists with not allowing that information to be stored in unsafe locations. DLP also provides a perimeter check where data is checked when it is being transmitted to a CD burner. If unsafe information or company information is being passed then DLP has the ability to stop the transfer.

Recommendation: To recover data packets lost in transit; the data loss caused by a computer/server crash can be prevented using a solid backup plan. Data files can be replicated over a remote server as well as on different computers on a network.

As technology grows and information has become a critical asset companies currently are devoted their resource and money to protect their data as important as their finance and human resource assets.

Confidentiality must be met in the storage, processing, and transmission of data in an organization. For example, we are going to look at a major recent data breach. On March 8, 2017, the US department of homeland security sent Equifax and notice to patch a vulnerability in versions of the Apache Struts software. On March 9, Equifax dispersed the information to applicable personnel. Although told to apply the patch, Equifax security team did not find
