### Data Security
--
### Shit happens
You can lose access to your hardware, or even worse it can get confiscated or stolen. Shit happens
--
## What to do?
- **classify** data by importance
- **backup** stuff you don't want to lose
- **encrypt** stuff that you wouldn't share
--
### Backup
There are a lot of backup programs but first start from the basics:
- copy your stuff to a new media
- store the media away from you
- repeat on a sensible frequency
- ???
- profit
Hardcore? the **3-2-1 rule**.

## Encrypt everything
It's becoming easier every year!
You usually need only a password or PIN at startup.
--
## Some clarifications
You can read the data ALWAYS if the hardware is ON.
Screen lockers can be bypassed: don't leave your hardware unattended.
Protip: 🕠When bells rings clear, shut down your gear ðŸ•
notes:
se suonano alla porta, spegni il computer o smonta la partizione cifrata prima di aprire.

## Compartmentalization
Do I need to have all my data on every device?
- Do I need emails on my phone?
- Do I need chats on my computer?
Often the best data protection is achieved by not having the data at all ;)
