By having a reliable backup system in place, organizations can ensure that their data and systems are always available, even in the face of unexpected disruptions.
My submission…
Data in store: encryption at rest e.g. AES 256 and column-level encryption
Data in transmission: use of TLS/SSL
Data being processed: hashing to ensure integrity of data at each phase of processing.
The popular difference I have held on to is that information is processed data i.e. raw records that have been manipulated, and sorted to make meaningful insights from.
While often used interchangeably, there is a major difference between information and data. Data becomes information when it’s processed, analyzed, and presented in a way that provides value and meaning.
In addition to backup and access controls, organizations can protect customer data from exposure in the event of a data breach by:
Encryption, Masking, Tokenization, Segmentation, Monitoring, Incident Response Planning. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Secure Coding Practices, Regular Security Audits, and Risk Assessments, and finally, employee Education and Awareness:
In your opinion, what is the single most important aspect of a company’s backup strategy..
I would say it is testing the backups done to ensure they are valid and useful in the event of a security incident or data breach.
How does backup ensure availability?
Backing up your data could make it portable for people to gain access to the data you are backing up.
By having a reliable backup system in place, organizations can ensure that their data and systems are always available, even in the face of unexpected disruptions.
Are database access control systems limited to a certain number of systems that can manage their database structures and restrict access?
How can data be protected while it is being stored, transmitted and processed?

What are the other ways organisations can protect customer data from exposure in the event of a data breach?

How can organizations strike a balance between ensuring data accessibility for legitimate users while also protecting against unauthorized access?
