If a person is managing business and its financial requisites online, it becomes very important to secure the sensitive data of the business. The main danger lies in the situation where the main server in the office stores the complete backup files and the same is used to transfer to other computers in the intranet. When the data is brought to the computer, the browser uses some special key which decrypts the data and presents it to the computer screen. These conditions are also considered little complicated because the decrypted file is saved in the directory of temporary internet files and allows the browser display it again.

Normally this can do no harm because of the web page saved on the computer. The data would remain safe until someone has some sort of remote access to the computer. However, in case, if anybody knows how exactly to get the information out of the computer, it will be really easy. Important information such as bank details, business secrets and many other such types of information will be easy to see for such person and one will be simply unable to do anything about the matter.

Employee internet monitoring is surely one important aspect of any business protection and it is being done in bigger industries and companies largely. But there are huge chances that responsible people like CEOs, HRs and various other IT professionals can be harassed by the “theft of details” from their computers. When a person switches on a computer to steal some important information from it, the generally used location from where the data is brought out is the ‘Temporary Internet file’. Data can be taken out from there easily and the data theft will not be recognized. Generally this important information is saved by default on the computer’s hard drive and there is no password or any such thing required to open the information. A snapshot of webpage is however stored on the computer locally.

It becomes very important to protect data when the business is such where a single mistake can create havoc. It has been seen in the IT companies that some type of secure ideas are implemented to update the security system to prevent the data theft from the company. The data security should be strong enough to keep the system under strong ‘Key-lock’.

The best data protection policy is to set up a complex password. This is a very interesting feature in the Internet Explorer which can be used by just turning ‘ON’ and the problem will be eliminated completely. One should simply click the “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” in the explorer setting which will disable the saving procedure and the sensitive data will be absolutely safe. This procedure can not only save the critical data from being stolen but also lets you stay free from many other problems that occur because of the saved encrypted pages to the disk.
