Awareness and suitable technology can play an important role in making notable achievements, on guarantee of protection for portable devices and offering help to the owners of the emerging enterprises regarding their company and business. Here, we present the most useful pieces of advice to protect database safety on portable devices:
Employees’ awareness
It is the first factor responsible for your company’s database. Employees should acquire proven experience in the field of safety. You have to be sure your employees are conscious that if their smart phones or tablets contain information on the company, then it should be used only when necessary to protect the device, for example, against browsing unsafe websites. Another scenario is if the device is stolen or lost, they have to notify the enterprise’s owner immediately.
Anti-theft basic application
Installing a low price application may eliminate data from some of the lost or stolen devices which is so important. Some of the devices already have some installed advantages; there are also many applications offered by the third party which could do the task. On the other hand, the employee should be aware that in case the data is removed from his device, this means his personal data will be deleted as well. This is why he should have a backup for the data on his device.
Avoid using complicated products
An emerging company with only five employees will not spend a long time in buying, applying and managing a security product that does not fill the company’s needs. Avoid buying a product with a capacity higher than your enterprises real needs, and only buy the basic security products for your portable devices.
