Today, our professional and personal lives are based online. From shopping to banking, social planning to working remotely we do it all via the internet. The convenience of being online all day comes with its own risks. Hackers are always searching for ways to gain access to your personal information. This is why digital safety is crucial.
A pillar of digital security is encryption, which refers to encoding information to prevent unauthorised access. For example, when you communicate sensitive information to people via email, it is encrypted so that only the recipient can decrypt it. This helps prevent hackers from taking the information.
Another key element of digital security is security of networks which ensures your data is safe when it’s transferred via the internet. It includes measures such as firewalls, antimalware programs, and secure Wi-Fi. In addition network security guards your devices’ ends – like desktops, laptops and mobile phones – from cyberattacks.
As technology continues its evolution and remote work becomes more common companies need solutions that can safeguard multiple devices at the same time. This is why digital security tools are becoming increasingly essential for organizations, including access and identity management systems such as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). These tools help to manage the login credentials and access rights of many users. They also ensure that only the right people have access to specific information and data which helps keep your employees and hackers out’ personal data secure.
