Summary This article explores the importance of information security for businesses in the face of rapid technological progress and recommends various robust encryption tools to thwart data breaches.
The leakage of enterprise information is caused by security holes in computer systems, including hacker invasions, viruses, internal security management measures, and intentional internal personnel leakage. The impact on enterprises and society is immeasurable.
(1) EXACTIS big data company: 2TB private information leaked
Information breach: 340 million records, involving 230 million people.
In June 2018, EXACTIS, a market and data aggregation company, suffered a server breach, leading to the unauthorized disclosure of approximately 2TB of meticulously detailed personal information. The exposed data encompassed religious beliefs, hobbies, and even clothing sizes of individuals.
(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.
On June 20, 2018, Tesla sued a former employee for stealing confidential information. The employee, a former process technician, developed malware to access Tesla’s internal production operating system. They stole a significant amount of data, including confidential photos and videos related to the production and manufacturing system, which they subsequently handed over to third parties.
II. Countermeasures
From the aforementioned cases, it is evident that the lack of file encryption has led to information leakage, creating vulnerabilities for exploitation. To address this issue, the “Rene.E Laboratory” series of encryption tools can be introduced, offering enhanced security effects. For instance, when encrypting USB files, the private disk feature of “Renee SecureSilo” can be utilized, while the monitoring read and write functionality of “Renee USB Block” can oversee the file operations meticulously.
(1) Use Renee SecureSilo private disk to protect files
Renee SecureSilo is a security software that prioritizes data security and file information protection. It utilizes private disk technology and allows for the secure storage of numerous confidential files. The software is user-friendly and easy to use.
