different security methods to protect dataencryption of dataOne method to protect data from certain hackers or viruses is to protect your data via encryption. This step is extremely vital because system passwords will not be able to defend against hackers’ attempting to access the hard drive from another computer, or against someone’s attempts to copy everything on the hard drive. In addition, recovering previously deleted files from an unencrypted storage device or disk image is also very easy to break into. Examples of programs to encrypt disk drives is to use "Microsoft BitLocker" which is very good at encrypting software.
password managersYou can use a tool to remember passwords to protect your own data, instead of just using one, which makes it prone to people to hack every single account that you have. One good example of this is "LastPass" which is a good program to store passwords.
