What is Data In Motion?
Share and Enjoy
If your business is like most businesses, there’s electronic data in motion all of the time. It’s flying through the air over wireless networks, or pumping through the cables in your walls. It’s jumping in messages between people, and it’s racing between your servers. Electronic data moves into your organization from the outside, and goes out from your employees and systems to partners and customers.
In the Data In Motion blog, we focus on topics related to two key areas of data in motion.
- What happens when data moves between workstations and host-based applications as users access those applications and the sensitive information that they front-end.
- What happens when files are transferred from users to users, from users to servers, and from servers to servers…within and outside of the organization.
Look for posts that cover such topics as:
- Best practices for secure file transfer
- Understanding data security protocols such as secure shell (SSH) and secure sockets layer (SSL)
- Moving very large files, reliably and quickly
- Getting data across different platforms (ie. IBM z/OS to UNIX)
- Authentication technologies, such as public keys and public key infrastructure (PKI)
- Regulatory Compliance
Comments are enjoyed and encouraged.
