Digital technology has changed the way society functions and also the way we live our individual everyday lives. Everyday there appears a new way to make money or enjoyably pass the time using digital means — this also includes new modes of communication. As technology marches on, more and more people come up with their own digital identities.

The main purpose of digital security is to safeguard that digital online identity — and there’s plenty of things to protect it from. Every day hackers devise new ways to breach established protections and steal individuals’ data to then use for their own murky ends. Digital security is a broad term which includes the tools which can be used to protect your identity, possessions and technology in the digital world that is online and mobile nowadays.

Digital identity

The tools that help protect our digital identity include particular services, programs, antivirus software, biometric data and secured personal devices. Further, there are tools such as the token, your cell phone’s SIM card and the secure chip on your credit card or ePassport which are also digital safety devices. They give you the freedom to travel, shop and work using your digital identity without hindrance, annoyance and — crucially — most threats.

If we look at how quickly the digital landscape is changing, it stands to reason that the security aspect had to evolve at a similar pace. This kind of rapid growth necessitates that we all stay up to speed with the latest offerings of digital security experts.

Data security

wee believe that digital security is, in essence, based on mutual trust between the user and the network (or cloud) or between the user and other users interacting over the web.

There are three pillars of data security:

-data integrity: we need to be certain that the data on whose security we rely for our safety have not been tampered with or damaged. Knowing where they came from usually helps.

-anonymity: there is often a need to deny access to certain predetermined persons or institutions to unauthorized individuals.

-availability: we need to have easy and unobstructed access to those crucial interactions and transactions which we also strive to protect from outside interference.

Blockchain technology aspect

The amount of sensitive data stored online is increasing all the time. Meanwhile, our computers and mobile devices which we use to access said data are relatively poorly protected. It is for this reason that we keep hearing about large scale data breaches at some of the world’s largest companies even though they themselves use top of the line security technology for most of their standard operations. The good news is that this is likewise changing with the technology and associated standards ceaselessly racing to accommodate the technological challenges of today.
