Data security issues can be harmful to many companies sometimes, so it is very important to know what are the issues and find useful solutions for them. The purpose of data security is to protect digital information from unauthorized access. It is also important to note that data security is different from data privacy. There are many situations where data center security would be threatened on, especially for cloud-based data.

Many big companies nowadays are using the cloud to store their and their customers' data, but the risks of saving data in the cloud can be enormous. Cyber attacks can be very harmful to many companies. There were 64% of companies worldwide that had troubles with cyber attacks in the year 2020 alone[1]. Some cyber attacks targeted personal information such as identity theft can hurt someone's credits with life-changing influences.

Some possible strategies on how to upgrade data security in a company[1]:

  1. Determine the risks. Find all the tools that may store the data such as computers and databases, and make sure everything is stored in a compliant manner.
  2. Review current data security systems. Check for any updates in the current data security system if there are one. Sometimes, the stale data should be removed and it is also helpful to have cleanup software installed to help the company delete the unused or unneeded data.
  3. Gather a data security team. Build a professional internal security team that can help the company to secure its data and save money on hiring other security teams. The security team must have a recovery plan just in case something unexpected may happen.
  4. Update data security approach. Make sure only the authorized people can access the system. Encryption software is needed because it can protect the data from people who decrypt the system. If the proper key was not provided, the software can make the data seem useless to other people. Data masking software is another software that is helpful since it can hide some sensitive information from being seen. The last software is risk assessment software, which is a tool that helps users to monitor and check their network securities.
