    Maintaining data security integrity after completing a system design project requires continuous monitoring and proactive measures. Implement regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to identify potential risks. Enforce strict access controls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication to safeguard sensitive data. Keep security policies updated and ensure compliance with industry standards. Educate users on best practices, monitor system logs for anomalies, and apply timely patches and updates to mitigate emerging threats while maintaining long-term system integrity.

    Once your system is live, data security and integrity must be an ongoing priority. Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) to limit data exposure. Regularly audit logs and set up anomaly detection to catch unauthorized access. Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit. Automate security patching and updates to close vulnerabilities. Enable backups with strict retention policies and test recovery processes. If applicable, use data hashing and checksums to detect corruption. Lastly, conduct periodic security reviews and penetration tests to stay ahead of threats. Security isn’t a one-time task—it’s a continuous process.

    1. Integrate security into DevOps using CI/CD pipelines with automated vulnerability scanning. 2. Enforce encryption in transit and at rest with key rotation policies. 3. Continuously monitor logs and behavior anomalies. 4. Use WAFs, private endpoints, rate limiting, and DDoS protection to safeguard entry points. 5. Conduct regular audits, pen tests, and threat modeling sessions. 6. Implement strict access controls, zero-trust policies, and least-privilege principles.
