Ten tips for securing data

Posted by Ken Y-N on November 28th, 2008 at 11:06am

There was a recent rather interesting and detailed post on Computer Technology Review from Michael Willett on managing security issues in the enterprise.

It’s a very long read so I’ll not try to summarise it, instead I’ll repeat the conclusion where he highlights ten ways to keep your data safe.

• Standards are the foundation, not proprietary solutions
• Don’t stick with software-only, use hardware too
• Ensure your solution scales
• Protect everything; don’t leave unsecured holes
• Make sure security is transparent to users
• Ease of implementation and use are the priorities
• Ensure interoperability
• Choose automation where possible
• Get an integrated solution
• Start now!
