Security of data transmission and storage of company data as one of the key resources

Security of data transmission and company data storage is a key resource. Let's get to know the concept of ISO,?cloud technologies, and other security points.?

What is ISO??

This is an international organization for standardization, the correct and complete name of our standard is ISO/IEC 17799 2005 Information Security Management Standard, i.e. ICOs and IEC information security management standard. This standard assumes that the security service, IT department, and the company's management should work in accordance with the general regulations, regardless of whether it is about the protection of paper documents or electronic data. Today, ISO 17799 has firmly entered our lives, becoming in practice the de facto standard for building information security management systems of leading companies both in Europe and Asia.

When the entrepreneurs are conducting their activities, they necessarily encounter the need to receive, process, store, transform, transfer and eliminate unnecessary information. ? ? ? ? ? If some information is valuable to the entrepreneur, then it must be protected from intruders. Value is determined through a number of parameters, which include utility, reliability, timeliness, relevance. During the protection of the information, all channels of possible leakage should be blocked and information storage safety should be ensured on all media available at the enterprise. Threats to information security are divided into internal and external.

External threats may be as follows:

• copying valuable documents, or stealing files;?
• theft of flashcards;
• theft of information in the process of its transmission over the Internet;?
• damage to data carriers;?
• reporting information to compete companies, or even to another country;
• stealing of information with the help of insiders.

Regarding the conditions for the protection of data from active attempts to stealing or spoiling them, taking into account the analysis of the task characteristics, the following list of measures is determined to ensure the protection of information:

• user authentication by password and possibly by key floppy disk or hardware key;
• differentiation of access to logical drives;
• transparent encryption of information, encryption of data files;
• allow launches that are strictly defined for each user.
• reaction to unauthorized access;
• providing the user with a minimum of the functions necessary for him/ her.?

What are cloud technologies?

If we talk about the concept of the cloud, we can say that technological solutions of this database type are based on the storage and use of information, software, or special services without actual involvement on computers.

From the point of view of the supplier, due to the pooling of resources and the impermanent nature of consumer consumption, cloud computing allows you to save on scale using smaller hardware resources than would be needed with allocated hardware capacities for each consumer, and by automating the procedures for modifying the allocation of resources, the cost of subscriber service is significantly reduced.

From the consumer's point of view, these characteristics allow you to get services with a high availability and low risks of disability, to ensure the rapid scaling of the computing system due to the elasticity without the need to create, maintain and modernize its own hardware infrastructure.

Main advantages of cloud database:

• the company don`t need a large computing power PC - any smartphone, laptop can get great potential to work;
• fault-tolerance;
• a high level of security;
• high speed of data processing;
• economy on buying software;
• your own hard drive is not filled - all data is stored on the cloud network.

Also there are a number of disadvantages:

• the cloud service is always provided by some company, the storage of user data depends on this company;
• the appereance of cloud monopolists;
• you need to be online for work all the time;
• the appereance of hacker attacks on the server;
• possible further monetization of the resource.

So, in the end, we can say, that one of the convenient services of the DocStudio platform is the storage and securing of your data. Designed to maximize security for data at rest and in transit, DocStudio allows you to configure security settings to match your security risk requirements for accessing, managing, and sharing data.
