Security : Protect Electronic Information

If you have ever sent a letter through courier or post, we always seal it before sending it. But how about electronic mails or data that we share across the world with so many people. Do you seal them? It needs to be protected. Otherwise there is a risk that it will fall in wrong hands and get misused. Following are some of the simple ways to effectively control sensitive electronic information

• Ensure accounts are configured with appropriate privileges
• Enable access level of folders storing sensitive information
• Encrypt sensitive information while in transit and while in storage
