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
--
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.
🕭 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 ;)
