Safe data transfer
24 October 2024
Safe data transfer refers to the secure transmission of data between systems, devices, or networks. Implementing safe data transfer practices is vital for protecting sensitive information, ensuring compliance, and maintaining trust. This process ensures that sensitive information remains confidential and protected from unauthorised access during transit.
Use encryption: Encrypt your data before transferring it. Tools like WinZip can help ensure that only the intended recipient are authorised to read the data by setting a strong password.
Secure protocols: Utilise secure file transfer protocols such as FTPS, or HTTPS to protect data during transmission.
Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to create a secure connection and shield your data from potential interceptors.
Multi-factor authentication: enable multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security when accessing and transferring data.
