Podcast on Protecting Data
Here's a great podcast on the Realtime Windows Server website titled "Protecting Data In Transit and At Rest with Ipswitch". Host Greg Shields and industry guru Kevin Gillis talk about some pretty important data security topics.
They highlight some of the recent prolific data breaches, summarize some of the nuances of PCI DSS compliance, run through some of the technical ABC's of secure file transfer, and share some best-practices and tips for securing critical data in IT environments with the Ipswitch WS_FTP and MOVEit secure managed file transfer solutions.
I know both of these guys and they clearly know their stuff.... Trust me, it's definitely worth 20 minutes to listen to the podcast.
Here's the podcast excerpt: "Whether your IT organization is under the heavy hand of regulatory compliance or not, the perils of unencrypted data can be a big risk for your most sensitive data. That data, whether its sitting within your data stores or being transferred around the network needs some level of encryption to protect it against prying eyes. Even worse, if you are under the microscope of compliance, you can be liable for a disclosure of that information.
In this podcast, I talk with Kevin Gillis of Ipswitch about some of the more recent data breaches seen by IT organizations that didn't properly plan for hacking. We talk about the types of compliance laws that require encryption, and the tools and techniques you need to incorporate to protect yourself. Whether its HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, or even just the desire to stay safe, this podcast will enlighten you to some of the tools available today that keep that data secure no matter where it is"
