Secure Your Data

Data security is the practice of protecting digital data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It is important because it ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, as well as the protection of privacy rights.

Some key aspects of data security include authentication and access control, encryption, firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems, data backup and disaster recovery, employee education and awareness, regular updates and patching, and data privacy.

Organizations can mitigate risks related to human error in data security by providing training and raising awareness among employees about data security best practices, such as strong password management, phishing awareness, and data handling procedures.
