Well-known and reliable: tape libraries are still one of the safest solutions for protecting and restoring data. Ransomware in particular cannot access this data because it cannot be physically accessed: an unhackable data vault. “Tape libraries have been experiencing a renaissance for some time now. Once relegated to obsolescence, tape now offers very high and, above all, cost-effective capacity for cold or archival data. What is less known is that tape is also one of the most secure storage solutions for backing up and restoring data. Because tape basically has the advantage over other storage media, such as...

Audit-proof data protection for cloud infrastructures 
Audit-proof data protection for cloud infrastructures

The patented microshard process defies current data protection concerns in relation to cloud infrastructures: data is broken down into single-digit bytes without loss of performance. These microshards are then stored in cloud environments or on on-premises servers. Generally applicable regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or industry-specific standards such as the KRITIS regulation of the BSI or the telematics infrastructure often impair corporate flexibility and agility. They go hand in hand with new investments. Corporate decision-makers are increasingly unsettled. In view of the unclear legal situation, many therefore hesitate to outsource parts of their infrastructure to a cloud infrastructure. Data protection for cloud infrastructures In addition, after…

New patent for better security of biometric data
New patent for better security of biometric data

The Hessian company iCOGNIZE applies for a patent for its new split template process for securing biometric data. With the new process, biometric data are split up immediately after they have been recorded in order to make them unrecognizable. Since biometric data contain the mathematical description of certain properties of body features such as fingerprints, iris or facial features and vein patterns, they are considered highly critical and must be protected in a special way - not only to prevent data protection breaches, but above all to prevent that complete biometric data sets cannot be stolen in cyberattacks. More protection ...
