Data Security and Privacy in Dental Technology
In the fast-evolving landscape of dental technology, prioritizing data security and privacy is paramount. As dental practices, like Elm Family Dentistry, increasingly embrace digital solutions, safeguarding sensitive information becomes a cornerstone for ensuring trust and compliance.
Empowering Security Champions with Modern Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Over the past two decades, as organizations have increasingly strived to integrate security into their development processes, the role of Security Champions has evolved from an informal position to one of strategic importance. They are now responsible for prioritizing security in their projects, leveraging powerful tools like Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to achieve this goal.
Tokenization: Replacing Data Values One Token at a Time
What is tokenization? This method revolutionized the modern way we protect data. In today’s age, InfoSec teams can deploy keyless and reversible methods with tokens, which replace sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and store this information in both vaulted and vaultess token look-up tables. When the data is needed, it can be re-identified and accessed by the right parties, ensuring sensitive information remains protected. Watch above to learn more about this revolutionary data protection method.
Anonymization: Safeguarding Sensitive Information - Permanently
What is anonymization? InfoSec teams can utilize anonymization to irreversibly scramble sensitive data values, thereby protecting an individual’s private information. If the sensitive information can no longer be linked to an individual, businesses have a better chance of saving on audits, complying with regulatory requirements, and scaling their ability to compete – all leading to revenue increases for your bottom line.
Data De-Identification: The Foundation of Data Protection
De-identifying data is what every data protection method is designed to do, making it the basis of effective cybersecurity. Common data fields that are de-identified by businesses would include names, birth dates, addresses and zip codes, National ID, and Social Security Numbers. By obfuscating sensitive data values through reversible and irreversible methods, your customers and patients can rest easy knowing their data can only be viewed by authorized parties.
Pseudonymization: Replacing Sensitive PII Values to Better Protect Your Data
What is pseudonymization? It’s one of many data protection methods that allow businesses to improve their sensitive data protection across systems by replacing values with pseudonyms. Learn more about this crucial data protection method and learn more about utilizing this method to boost your business’s cyber security posture.
Cloud Storage vs. Hard Disk Drive (SSD): Which is Better for Data Security?
Technology trends may come and go, but cloud storage has become a mainstay for efficient data management. Instead of relying on physical drives such as local SSDs, the cloud allows users to store their data securely in remote data centers. On the other hand, traditional storage methods, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), have been storage mainstays for decades. Through magnetic spinning disk technology, HDDs have been reliable for long-term storage.
What is DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) & Do You Need It?
Knowledge is power. Power is money. In the context of information systems and applications, knowledge is ingested, processed, and used as data. Data theft or loss can be devastatingly costly to a business. Data is one of an organization’s most valuable assets, and must be secured and protected as such.
Is your ID badge giving away too much about you?
