VDR for cybersecurity is an essential tool for any company that relies on the secure storage of sensitive information. Even businesses that don’t share their documents with external partners may have to share sensitive data with internal teams or legal counsel. They must be able do this without the risk of cyber theft.
A reliable VDR that is designed for security will offer multi-factor authentication, access control mechanisms and monitoring of file activity in order to identify potential unauthorized activities. It should also include the ability for administrators to know who has accessed the data and when, which is essential for security investigation. It can also protect files from watermarking and encryption to ensure that no one can alter sensitive data.
Although some of the steps suggested by IEC 61996-1, such as requiring use of a key or tool to gain access to the device, limiting access to proprietary software and interfaces on the device, and using stickers or seals to show signs of alteration are useful, they do not provide protection against many of the attacks described in this paper that require access to the operating system. The password requirements in this standard only apply to the data being recorded. They do not cover the interface accessible to the device which could be used to bypass the security.
It is crucial to keep in mind that a VDR for cybersecurity requires a multi-faceted strategy, starting with selecting the best solution and encouraging user acceptance. To ensure the security and privacy of their data, organizations should conduct regular audits as well as system updates. Companies that don’t have a VDR with a cybersecurity program in place run the risk of serious data breaches and financial losses.
