Data security

Data security is essential for every company. Security factors among other things are:

• data encryption
• security of the internet mail (e-mail correspondence)
• access control to resources

Company's information recorded on computers can be lost very quickly, for example if a computer was stolen. Physical access to computer hardware gives greater opportunities of obtaining data, passwords and other important as well as confidential information. That is why essential data needs to be properly protected using encryption with accordingly sophisticated algorithm.

The data encryption can be provided by coding all data on hard drives, where the operating system together with important information is found. Access to information recorded on such disk is possible after giving safety password or using decryption key. An example of program which can be used for free to encrypt data is TrueCrypt, accessible under TRUECRYPT LICENSE. With this tool, encrypting is actually possible in any data keeping device, for example: a memory with USB interface, a memory card (eg. SD), hard drives. Protecting information with such system, guarantees high data security. The protection quality can be concompanyed by the fact, that in case of forgetting or losing the decryption key, decoding data is practically impossible.

To present and discuss the data protection possibilities with this technique, we invite you to contact us.

Electronic mail is sent in vast majority public. Despite the fact, that some mail account suppliers offer access coded with SSL protocol, information confidentiality is not guaranteed indeed. If we correspond with a contracting business partner and we send essential data, they are practically not safe. In case of overhearing or information interceptions sent from our computer to the internet, reading of such message will not be a problem. That is why, minding the security of such information is necessary. Popular and also a very good tool is PGP, which makes encryption, decryption of e-mails and sender authentication verification possible. It uses unfailing methods of cryptography. An additional large advantage is the tool accessibility without license fees and high quality of the product.

The assignment of access rights for users to data is a following essential problem of the information security. Every user, even trusted should have defined suitable rights where he can have an access, and to where he cannot. The conduct targets better inspection over the access to key data and gives rights to minimum resources needed for user. Manners of the access inspection can be very diverse, beginning with program solutions up to equipment solutions - eg. the access by papillary lines scanning.

We use different solutions to protect resources. Mainly these are Open Source systems intended on Linux/Unix. They are chosen depending on Customer's needs. In case of large implementation, it is possible to find best commercial solutions together with installation and technical support.
