VDR for cybersecurity is a cloud-based solution that allows data sharing and safe-keeping, protects records against unauthorized access. The software is a must-have for companies that handle sensitive information, including personnel or financial data patents, perceptive property and more. It’s also necessary for companies who want to adhere to personal privacy regulations. VDR for cybersecurity allows businesses to stay clear of legal issues like penalties that could arise from a security breach. It includes features such as two-factor authentication. This method is more secure than a standard password.
The current IMO and IEC standards that mandate the requirements of VDRs in ship fleets do not address the specific vulnerabilities that these devices are susceptible to. A recent paper in particular, demonstrated that a VDR purchased off-the-shelf by a major manufacturer could easily be altered by plugging in the USB and manipulating the interface. The IMO standards that include requiring keys access to tools or access to the device, and using stickers/seals as a way to indicate tampering, do not offer any tangible security.
VDRs that are designed for cybersecurity should include encryption and deterrence tools. A good VDR should also have granular permissions that allow you to control what data is accessible this website and what each user can do with it. It will also feature an automated malware detection and protection feature and remote monitoring and patches to ensure that your company’s THAT department is able to identify and eliminate threats quickly.
