Data Security

The term "data security" describes the collection of procedures and policies to safeguard digital data's availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Sensitive information is protected by data security from unwanted access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Encryption, access controls, authentication, data classification, secure storage, and secure transmission are essential components of data security. The primary objectives are ensuring that data is safeguarded at all stages of its lifecycle—storage, processing, transmission, and modification—and that only authorized people or systems can access and alter it. Identity theft, data breaches, and other cyber threats that jeopardize people's or organizations' security and privacy must be avoided at all costs. Adherence to data protection laws, such as GDPR and HIPAA, is frequently essential to a robust data security plan.

ThreatNG, amalgamating External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, enhances an organization's Data Security within its external digital presence. ThreatNG identifies potential vulnerabilities and exposure points by continuously monitoring the attack surface, offering detailed insights within its EASM capabilities. The platform allows for a smooth transfer of vital data by integrating with security measures like endpoint protection systems and data loss prevention (DLP) programs. For example, suppose ThreatNG, through its DRP features, detects a potential data security risk associated with a specific external asset. In that case, it efficiently communicates this intelligence to the DLP system, enabling enhanced monitoring and controls to prevent unauthorized data access or transmission. This collaborative approach strengthens the organization's external defense. It optimizes synergy with complementary solutions, empowering security teams to proactively manage and secure their data against potential threats and vulnerabilities in their digital ecosystem.
