Keep Share and Edit Your Data Safe
Share and edit your data in a secure way
The majority of us work with files. Sharing files between devices, platforms and clients, from Word documents and emails, to PowerPoint presentations and spreadsheets is a crucial element of our lives. Many of us are concerned about the security of the files we share, especially with the rising number of cyber-attacks reported in the news.
File sharing is an excellent method of collaboration with other people and share ideas. However, it’s important to consider the amount of access you’ll be granting to the people you work with. Leaving access open for too long could make it easy for hackers to gain access to your information and compromise your privacy.
You can keep your private data secure by following few guidelines when sharing files. First, only send the data they need. This will reduce the risk of more information falling into the wrong hands in the event of a data leak or data breach. Additionally, make sure you use tools which prevents unauthorised editing files. For instance, if you’re collaborating on an Excel spreadsheet, there are programs that can lock the file while it’s being edited. This stops accidental or malicious changes and ensures that the data rooms and more data remain accurate.
Companies should also be aware of the risks associated with online file transfer services. Using these types of systems can leave your business vulnerable to a wide range of potential attacks and it can be difficult for administrators to see the location of files that have been transferred and what access was granted, or even if they’ve been sent in any way.
