Data Security

--

Shit happens

You can lose access to your hardware, or even worse it can get confiscated or stolen. Shit happens

think

--

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 🕭

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 ;)
