Econsultancy Offer Up 10 Common Sense Data Security Tips

Data security and common sense often go hand in hand.

Unfortunately, many people I know who suffer at the hands of malware, hackers and all manner of other bad things on the internet are lacking in the latter.

Therefore a post from econsultancy.com on 10 common sense data security tips was an interesting read for me and something well worth sharing.

Their tips are -

• Don’t store sensitive data in plaintext.
• Don’t store sensitive data unnecessarily.
• Be mindful of permissions.
• Filter input, escape output.
• Use a firewall.
• Manage users.
• Use SSL where appropriate.
• Look at your infrastructure.
• Stay on top of security releases.
• Treat security as an ongoing activity.
