Abstract
Today’s world is a modern world and everything is being digitalized with the integration of internet. It has resulted in different cybercrime attacks which are growing fast in numbers. They steal important data. Enterprises and industries have critical and important data that needs proper protection, if their data is lost then industries faces big loss. In this paper we have discussed the data loss prevention in server operating system which is Window and Linux. In this paper we have discussed different methods used for data loss prevention in windows and Linux. Our research methodology will be qualitative.
Introduction
In order to protect the network and data stored in it the countermeasure that is put in place is called network security. It keeps the network safe from any kind of hacking interventions, cyber-attacks. Hardware, software and cloud services are the main components of network security. In this paper we will be discussing about data prevention loss in windows and Linux operating system. (Marin, 2005)
Data loss prevention for windows
Data prevention loss refers to a technology that prevents sharing of critical data and sensitive data of the organization with the outside networks. Data loss prevention can also provide action that avoids uploading of files, downloading of files, printing and forwarding of messages as well. data prevention loss system and its software focuses on the policies that are defined by the organization so that no one can misuse, and share the data which can result in putting the organization at risk. (Liu & Kuhn, 2010).
There are three main objectives solved by data loss prevention and they include personal information protection, data visibility and intellectual property protection. Organizations have personal information of its users in the form of payment car information, health information and other kind of information. Using data loss prevention organization can protect the personal data of their users. Intellectual property is a personal stuff of the organization and data loss prevention can classify intellectual property in both structured and unstructured form. Data loss prevention assists in tracking the data on cloud networks and end point. (Ailianos, 2010). There is another version of data loss prevention and it is cloud computing data loss prevention and it protects the critical data of the organization as well in an effective manner. Cloud computing was only simple information technology activities and simple computing style that gives protection to data. It is said that cloud computing is not the revolutionary idea but it is the evolution idea and concept that is capable of integrating different sort of technologies together to develop a new information technology tool. With the passage of time cloud computing and its application got the accessibility of internet as well to perform operation better and effectively as well. Now if anyone has a suitable internet connection can access the cloud computing and its applications. Cloud computing basically refers to provision of different computer services such as storage of data, networking services, protection of data analytics and other relevant services as well. Internet is the basic source of operation of cloud and computing. In cloud computing device can access the cloud and same kinds of applications by using internet. Cloud computing is very important as it gives different advantages and advantages include efficiency, cost effectiveness, security of data, scalability, recovery of data from disaster, control and much more It provides more visibility in SaaS and IaaS applications.
Software as a service
In this type of cloud computing the software is owned and managed by one or more provider. Software as a service SaaS is a better way of assessing different software that protects the data. Usually software is expensive. There is different SaaS organization and computing system that led you rent different software with ease and you can host software as well. SaaS is adapted by intelligence of businesses and its technology. SaaS has an achievement that Adobe creative suit has also adapted this model. SaaS provides encryption which an organization can use and enhances its data security
Infra-structure as a service
Infra-structure as a service essentially refers to the computation of resources, networking capabilities storage capability and much more. This can be available on the demand of the customers.
Platform as a service
They are middleware services and are the infra-structure of application and relevant services. Different modules are involved in this such as integration, management of business processes, services of data base, and application platform. (Hayes, 2008)
Data prevention loss for Linux
Data prevention loss by using Linux helps the organization to effectively manage the devices which are connected to the computers. It monitors every activity regarding the transferring of data to unauthorized devices. In this a users cannot take unauthorized data of the organization outside the company. Using Linux operating system data loss prevention provide better retention and control over data through proper inspection. Data loss prevention safeguards the sensitive data and intellectual property as well. it encompasses different end points which bloc the file transmission depending on the type of filter, and type filter which depends on the predefined content. Data loss prevention is incorporated or integrated with the end points of Linux. In this way you can set different policies on the endpoints of Linux. Linux machines such as RedHat, OpenSUSE, and CentOS assist in protection of sensitive data of the organization and organization can have records over data breaches as well. For effective Linux data loss preventions there are steps with policy building. First of all deploy a data loss prevention solution and make users to stop uploading. They should not copy past the data from the work station of Linux to the cloud. End point of data loss prevention should be observed regularly. We have discussed the deploying of endpoints Linux protector. It is considered as an advanced mode of data loss prevention and often called as cross platform data loss prevention. It provides DLP solutions for mac operating system, Widow, and Linux as well. In the market the granular data loss prevention for clients is desktop as service platform DaaS.it provides the protection of sensitive data at motion and at rest as well. Device as desktop effectively audit, monitor policies in physical and virtual environments equally.
It is considered as a high level method of information misfortune counteraction and regularly called as cross stage information misfortune avoidance. It gives DLP answers for Macintosh working framework, Widow, and Linux too. the granular information misfortune anticipation for customers is work area as administration stage DaaS.it gives the security of delicate information at movement and very still too. Gadget as work area adequately review, screen arrangements in physical and virtual conditions similarly. By using this organization have control over internally and externally outsourced third party, workforce administrators and collaborators. It secures the infrastructure of virtual desktop. It ensures the enforcement of compliance with the regulations such as PCI, DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST 800-171 and CPA. Data protection at rest is also ensured by this as it has deep visibility of the sensitive data and provides transparency regarding how individuals interact. Data loss protection with Device as desktop provide content aware protection, control over device, for removable storage there is enforce encryption, and e discovery. There are multiple benefits as well. Cross platform protection protect intellectual property and personally identifiable information regardless of operating system. It controls several flows of data which limit the use of storage devices to transfer the data over internet. It has flexible deployment options as well in which cloud services are incorporated with the organizational infra-structure. It has single console control which assist in setting up the data prevention policies with in the endpoints and networks with enhanced user experience. There are predefined compliance profiles for intellectual property protection case. Granular policies are easily defined by it. Adaption of Linux is increasing and continues to grow more. It has minimal or light impact on the network devices which is light weight agent and user friendly for enhanced end user experience. In general data loss prevention protects high value data from persistent security threat and challenges. It controls a few progressions of information which limit the utilization of capacity gadgets to move the information over web. It has adaptable sending choices also in which cloud administrations are consolidated with the hierarchical infra-structure. It has single comfort control which help with setting up the information avoidance arrangements with in the endpoints and organizations with improved client experience. There are predefined consistence profiles for licensed innovation insurance case. Granular approaches are handily characterized by it. (Beata Berecki, 2019)
Concluding all for any operating system data protection is very important. To ensure the organization and information put away in it the procedures that are set up are important. It guards the organization from any sort of hacking mediation, digital assaults. Equipment, programming and cloud administrations are the principle segments of organization security. In this paper we have examined about information avoidance in windows and Linux working framework.
