Data breaches and cyberattacks are increasing and businesses are more worried more than ever before about the security of sensitive information. The right enhanced data protection solutions can help companies reduce the threat of costly attacks as well as litigation, as well as protect customers’ privacy and strengthen the brand’s reputation.
Effective data protection strategies rely on the use of tools and technologies that increase an organization’s visibility into the data it holds and how it is utilized. They include features like encryption, data masking and redactions of sensitive files. They also incorporate automated reporting to streamline audits and comply with the requirements of regulatory agencies. A solid data-security plan can help safeguard against human error which are the main cause of data breaches.
The use of encryption is to protect your data from unauthorized access, theft, or tampering. It converts plaintext into ciphertext using advanced algorithms. The enhanced encryption uses stronger algorithms with longer keys, which make it more difficult for attackers to crack the encryption.
Some users might experience performance issues after enabling encryption capabilities. This can be caused by insufficient hardware resources to run the algorithm or compatibility issues with other software installed on your system.
UI masking can protect your data by preventing unauthorised changes to sensitive information within SAP user interfaces, such as table displays and value help, or the dialog for setting application settings. It also ensures uniform masking across all applications. This decreases the risk of threats from both sides and allows you meet legal requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA PCI-DSS SOX and other requirements.
