Edit and share your data in a secure way
We all work with documents. From emails and word documents to spreadsheets and presentations sharing files across platforms, devices and clients is an essential part of our everyday lives. But with a growing number of cyber attacks in the news, we are concerned about the security of the files we share are.
File sharing can be an ideal option to collaborate and expand on ideas, but it’s important to be mindful of how much access you grant to the people you’re working with. If you keep your data for too long hackers could easily get in and compromise your privacy.
There are a few simple steps that can help keep your information safe when sharing files. First, only send people the information they require. This decreases the possibility of more information falling into the wrong hands in the event of a data leak or data breach. Use tools that block unauthorised edits of files. For example for instance, if you’re working together on an Excel spreadsheet, there are programs that can secure the file while editing. This stops malicious or accidental changes and ensures that numbers are accurate.
Online file transfer services could also be a risk for businesses. These services can leave your organisation vulnerable to many possible attacks. It’s also difficult for administrators and managers to see where files were sent or what kind of access they’ve gotten.
