Data exists as data at rest (stored on devices or servers), data in transit (moving across networks), and data in use (being actively processed by applications). Each state requires different protection controls.
Symmetric encryption uses a single shared key for both encryption and decryption, making it fast but requiring secure key exchange. Asymmetric encryption uses a public-private key pair, enabling secure communication without sharing a secret key.
DLP refers to tools and policies that detect and prevent unauthorized transfer, sharing, or loss of sensitive data. DLP solutions monitor endpoints, networks, and cloud storage to enforce data handling policies.
Cyber resilience is an organization's ability to maintain operations and recover quickly from cyber incidents, system failures, or disasters while preserving data confidentiality and system integrity.
Common backup strategies include full backups, incremental backups, offsite storage, and RAID configurations. Regular backup testing and geographic redundancy ensure data can be restored after ransomware, hardware failures, or natural disasters.
