ON THE TRACK OF DIGITAL SECURITY: PROTECTING KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

This study investigated digital security practices and their effectiveness in protecting knowledge within organizations and educational institutions. The central problem addressed was how digital security practices can be improved to ensure the protection of knowledge in educational and corporate environments. The general objective was to analyze digital security practices and their contributions to the protection of knowledge, highlighting the technologies used and the challenges faced in the implementation of these practices. The research adopted a bibliographic methodology, with a survey of articles, books and other relevant documents on information security, cryptography, artificial intelligence and digital awareness. The results indicated that the combination of advanced technologies, such as cryptography and artificial intelligence, with the continuous awareness of users, is an approach to ensure the protection of knowledge. It was identified that user resistance and lack of resources are challenges to be overcome. In addition, the integration between technology and the continuing education of employees proved to be essential for the success of digital security policies. Closing remarks suggested that digital security should be seen as a collective effort within organizations, and that studies are needed to explore the impact of emerging technologies such as blockchain and AI on knowledge protection.
