VDR for cybersecurity can be a valuable tool for any company that is dependent on the security of sensitive data. Even companies that do not share documents with external parties may have a requirement to share confidential information with legal counsel or internal teams and they must be able to share this information without putting themselves at risk of cyber-theft.
A reliable VDR should have access control and multi-factor authentication mechanisms, as well as monitoring file activity to spot any possible illegal activities. It should also have an option that allows administrators to track who has used the data and at what time. This is helpful to conduct security investigations. Finally, it should be able of encrypting files and add watermarks to ensure that no one can alter sensitive information.
Although some of the steps suggested by IEC 61996-1 include the use of tools or keys to access the device, restricting access to proprietary software and interfaces on the device as well as using stickers or seals to show signs of tampering are helpful, they do not provide protection against many of the attacks illustrated in this paper that require access to the operating system. The requirements for passwords in this standard are only applicable to the data that is being recorded. They do not cover the interface accessible to the device, which could be exploited to bypass the protection.
It is crucial to keep in mind that a VDR for cybersecurity requires a broad approach, beginning with choosing the right solution and fostering user acceptance. To ensure the security and confidentiality of their data, organizations should conduct regular audits as well as system improvements. If the VDR for cybersecurity is not in place, businesses run the risk of data breaches and severe financial consequences.
