Data protection and security analysis

Data has long been an important asset for almost every organisation. Data security and protection is no less important than software usability and functionality. Protecting data from unauthorised access and theft is a multi-layered information security task that needs to be considered at all stages of development - from the beginning to the moment of system connection and operation.

Emat EOOD performs diagnostics and code verification. When we fix someone else's mistakes, we see the consequences: the choice for speed often harms the business and turns into damage. It is not uncommon for IT companies to neglect security in favour of speed of release and feature development.

Built-in defence
Emat uses SAST analysers (or statistical analysers) to examine code for vulnerable commands, illogical connections and information that should not be present in good code. Static code analysis is performed at all stages of development. It is built into a cycle to optimise and automate the process. During software development, predictive threat models are built and the most vulnerable points in the future security system are identified. Emat developers build security into customer software using effective and popular Dell Technologies SafeBIOS real-time threat assessment and remediation solutions.

Security control
Attackers invent new and sophisticated ways to hack every day. DDoS attacks, phishing and credential theft happen all the time. Attackers use weak passwords or vulnerabilities in the authentication system to break into closed corporate systems. Extortion and ransomware for stolen data have become commonplace. Theft and malware infiltrating a company's network is usually the result of a lack of vigilance on the part of employees.

Network breaches, hacker attacks and information security vulnerabilities can have fatal consequences for a business. It is worth remembering the Pareto Principle and saying that 20% of all data loss critically affects 80% of the company's business processes.

How do you protect your company's information systems, data and databases from cyber threats, attacks and unauthorised access? Integrated IT solutions embedded in the defence system monitor business operations. The tool allows you to remotely record intrusions and stop hacking attempts.

Requirements Planning and Analysis
The security and confidentiality parameters of a software product are defined and specified at the design stage. It is necessary to have a clear understanding of the categories of data and personal information that the software will process.

The terms of reference that satisfy both the customer and the developers are considered final. The key decisions that determine the work plan and resource requirements are also made in the early stages of development. In order to increase profits and minimise costs, it is important to have a clear statement of work that defines the project objectives, customer expectations, stages and deadlines.

When designing the architecture of the future product, it is necessary to analyse and identify the points of possible attack in advance by reviewing lists of common vulnerabilities. This can be done using data flow visualisation.

2024-2025: Data security becomes a critical issue
Pareto Principle: 20% of all data loss critically impacts 80% of a company's business. Network breaches, hacker attacks, information security vulnerabilities can have fatal consequences for business.

Emat EOOD Bulgaria develops software solutions (mobile applications) that ensure the security of company data when logged in remotely. The software product allows editing data and sharing files from a tablet without connecting to a VPN. File access control allows you to track and unlock the access of specific users to shared files. The application is available for both IOS and Android platforms.

The system allows you to audit access to documents, categorise information, block employee actions and encrypt viruses.

Data security has become a critical issue in the digital age. It is a critical aspect of software development that requires a multi-layered and serious approach. Outdated, vulnerable technologies create new threats.
