Summary Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, many documents and materials are stored on computers in the form of electronic data. Protecting the security of file information is an unavoidable problem for all companies. How to prevent file information from leaking? Does practical and efficient encryption software exist? This article brings solutions to enterprise information leakage and introduces a series of safe and practical encryption tools.
The reasons for the leakage of enterprise information are generally that the security holes of the company’s computer system are invaded by hackers and viruses, as well as internal security management measures and intentional leakage of internal personnel. No matter what form of information leakage, its impact on enterprises and the whole society is immeasurable.
(1) EXACTIS big data company: 2TB private information leaked
Information breach: 340 million records, involving 230 million people.
Event introduction: At the beginning of June 2018, the market and data aggregation company EXACTIS server information was exposed, and nearly 2TB of personal information was leaked, and the privacy of these data was extremely detailed. Including a person’s religious beliefs, hobbies, and even clothing sizes can be found.
(2) Tesla Motors: A large amount of data was stolen by former employees and released to the public
Information leakage: Tesla’s trade secrets and a large amount of internal company data.
Event introduction: On June 20, 2018, Tesla sued a former employee for stealing a large amount of confidential information. The employee was a former process technician who developed malware to enter Tesla’s internal production operating system, steal a large amount of data and hand it over to third parties, including confidential photos and videos about the production and manufacturing system.
II. Countermeasures
From the cases introduced above, it can be seen that the reason for the information leakage is that the file information has not been encrypted, resulting in loopholes that people can take advantage of. Now introduce the “Rene.E Laboratory ™” series of encryption tools, which can be used in conjunction with better security effects. For example: when we want to encrypt files on the USB, we can use the private disk function of “Renee SecureSilo”, and then use The monitoring read and write function of “Renee USB Block” monitors the reading and writing process of files in detail.
(1) Use Renee SecureSilo private disk to protect files
Renee SecureSilo, is a security software that focuses on data security and file information protection. It adopts private disk technology and can save a large number of confidential files at the same time. The actual operation is convenient and simple.
