What is data security?
Data security refers to the practices and technologies used to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or loss—whether the data is at rest or in transit. It includes access controls, encryption, backups, and vulnerability management.
Think of data security like a vault: only those with the right key can open it, and it’s designed to withstand both break-ins and disasters.
Example
A company restricts access to its customer database using role-based permissions. All sensitive data is encrypted and backed up in secure, segregated storage.
