VDR for cybersecurity is a valuable tool for any business that is reliant on the safety of sensitive data. Even companies that don’t share documents with outside entities may need to share confidential data with legal counsel or internal teams and they must be able do so without the risk of cyber-theft.
A good VDR that is designed for security will offer access control mechanisms and monitoring of file activity to spot potential unauthorized activities. It should also include an option that allows administrators to monitor who has visited the data and when. This is useful to conduct security investigations. It should also be able encrypt and watermark files to prevent the tampering with sensitive information.
Some of the measures suggested in IEC 61996-1, including using a tool or key for access, restricting access to proprietary software and interfaces and using seals or stickers to display evidence that tampering occurred can be helpful. However they do nothing to stop the attacks mentioned in this paper that require access to the operating system. The requirements for passwords in this standard only apply to the data being recorded. They do not cover the interface accessible to the device that could be used to bypass the security.
It is important to remember that a VDR for cybersecurity requires a multi-faceted approach, starting with choosing the best solution and promoting user acceptance. To ensure the security and confidentiality of their data, companies must invest in regular audits as well as system upgrades. Businesses that do not have a VDR in place for cybersecurity run the risk of serious data breaches and financial losses.
