Data security and encryption are even more important than ever within the workplace

In today’s society, data attacks on mobile devices and against networks and business databases are on the increase. Alongside this, the emergence of a working week often split between office and home further strengthens the need for caution when it comes to UK-GDPR rules and regulations. With the risk of huge fines and punishments in the case of a data breach, it is vital for businesses to ensure that their critical and sensitive information is properly protected. 

One way establishments can process personal data securely is by having a policy incorporating encryption solutions. Encryption scrambles data in such a way that only someone with the correct code or key can read it, so if your HDD is lost or stolen, you can be confident that the content of the drive cannot be accessed. This becomes particularly important with the increase of travelling with laptops and other working equipment as part of a hybrid work routine.  

Verbatim offers a range of solutions to help customers keep their data safe and support businesses with products to adhere with GDPR and UK-GDPR. They offer a wide range of portable storage devices that are protected by the AES 256-bit encryption system which has never been cracked. Devices, be they HDDs, SSDs, USB drives or HDD enclosures are protected by keypads, fingerprint recognition or conventional computer password entry. As long as the passwords (or fingers) cannot be accessed by the wrong people, the stored data is secure.
