The authentication and authorization process is essential to any data security strategy. When your data is at rest or in transport it is essential to ensure that only authorized users have access using credentials, like encryption keys or passwords, or other methods of authentication like multi-factor identification (MFA) where the user is required to provide more than one type of proof.

Organizations should keep track of their application data and understand when sensitive information enters a certain state such as “at rest,” “in transit,” or “in use.” This information is essential to spot possible vulnerabilities and take appropriate actions.

It can be a challenge for businesses to keep the records of sensitive data as the amount of data collected increases. It is essential to adhere to the principle of least privilige, which states that only the data users require to perform their duties should be provided.
