There are many various types of data security However, the most important ones are:
Authentication — The process of confirming that the people accessing your information are who they claim to be. This includes passwords or multifactor identification as well as other identity verification methods.
Encryption – The method of converting data into an unreadable format so that only users with the correct keys can view it. This protects sensitive data in transit and at rest including databases, files and email communications.
Monitoring is the practice of preventing malicious actors from accessing or transferring data from your network by blocking or intercepting them at the gateway. This could include data loss prevention (DLP) technology, encryption and educating employees on the best practices.
Backups -The ability to quickly and securely restore data in the event of a system failure or cyberattack, as well as a disaster or data breach. This can be accomplished by creating a copy of the data in a different format or by keeping it in the cloud.
Data minimization is the process of storing only information that is necessary to your business. This helps reduce your vulnerability by cutting down on the number of potential hackers’ targets. It also reduces storage costs and avoids bloat which could cause compliance issues.
