This article explains the three states of data—at rest, in transit, and in use—and the specific threats and controls associated with each one. It emphasizes that protecting data requires a layered, state-aware approach, with encryption, access controls, TLS, secure enclaves, and endpoint protection working together. #TLS #IPsec #SSH #SFTP #EDR #TEEs
Keypoints
- Data exists in three states: at rest, in transit, and in use.
- Each data state has different threats and requires different protections.
- Data at rest is protected with encryption, access controls, and DLP tools.
- Data in transit is protected with TLS, IPsec, SSH, and secure file transfer.
- Data in use needs memory protection, secure enclaves, application controls, and EDR.
