Data Encryption
Usually, the file and share security discussed previously is more than adequate. However, if your network is used for especially sensitive data and you want to prevent anyone from stealing information, you can take an additional security measure by forcing data encryption. Encryption codes the information sent on the network using a special algorithm and then decodes it on the other end. This technique offers varying degrees of safety, largely based on the length and complexity of the code used to encrypt the data. With the advent of the Internet, encryption technology is becoming more important and is key in the new “secure transactions” toward which companies on the World Wide Web are now working.
