Modern businesses may face various technical problems, but information security is the most dangerous and relevant. With insufficient data security, information about customers and company affairs is at risk, which can lead to loss of customer loyalty and funds.

Threat sources for physical servers

A threat is a potential opportunity to violate information security in a certain way. Understanding possible threats and the vulnerabilities that these threats exploit makes it possible to choose the most cost-effective security measures to avoid cost overruns, to prevent resources from being concentrated where they are not most needed, by weakening the real vulnerabilities.

Recently, the Internet has become the most dangerous place in the network, from where a potential attacker can constantly operate, and attacks of this kind were no exception for databases.

A vulnerability is any place on the network, from a network cable that mice can gnaw through to a database or files that user actions can destroy.

It should not be forgotten that new vulnerabilities and means of exploiting them are constantly emerging; firstly, there is almost always a danger, and secondly, monitoring such risks must be carried out regularly. That is, it is necessary to constantly monitor the emergence of new vulnerabilities and try eliminating them. Also, do not lose sight of the fact that vulnerabilities attract not only intruders but also relatively honest people. Therefore, not everyone will resist the temptation to increase the salary, confident that he will go unpunished.

The best way to protect your information is to transfer company databases and files to online storage protected by modern encryption protocols, complex authentication, and so on.

What does information security include?

Information security includes:

  • Set of organizational measures.
  • The complex technical standards.

There are many information security problems, and it is impossible to cover them all, but we will highlight some of them.

Since information security is associated with threats in the information sphere, it should be recalled that the Information Security System is a set of protective measures, tools, and operation processes, including resource and administrative (organizational) support.

Organizational support is a provision that establishes temporary, territorial, spatial, legal, methodological, and other restrictions at the enterprise. Rules are set in up-to-date, high-quality, comprehensive internal regulatory documents, instructions, regulations, orders, and regulations.

Secure data storage

To securely store information about your company, you can use virtual data rooms. They can also combine the functions of board portals, so they are also suitable for corporate governance decision-making.

Such software can be selected for both large enterprises and small companies.
