Data Security

Data Security refers to the practices and measures taken to protect digital information from unauthorized access, corruption, or theft throughout its entire lifecycle. This encompasses a range of strategies and technologies designed to safeguard data stored on computers, servers, and networks, as well as data in transit. Key components of data security include encryption, access controls, data masking, and user authentication, which help ensure that only authorized individuals can view or manipulate sensitive information. Data security also involves risk assessment, policy creation, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements to ensure that data is handled appropriately. Overall, it aims to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, protecting it from various threats such as cyber attacks, data breaches, and accidental loss.
