Data security is a business-critical concept that protects data from threats of unauthorised access or data corruption throughout the life-cycle of the database. It encompasses everything from hardware and physical security to protecting storage devices, software, and user devices; as well as access controls administration protocols, corporate policies and procedures.

While many businesses are focused on protecting their data against external threats, they must also be aware of internal threats. Employees can inadvertently cause a security breach by inadvertently divulging sensitive information, not configuring systems or gaining access to data that they shouldn’t have. These incidents are usually caused by carelessness or a lack of awareness of security protocols.

Protect sensitive information from leaks. Data that is sensitive isn’t intended to be seen by everyone. Keeping this information where it’s supposed to be can help protect a business reputation and ensures that they do not get into legal problems.

Streamlines auditing procedures: Use encryption, masking, and redaction options to ensure that only the right people have access to the sensitive information. This will help businesses improve their auditing processes and ensure compliance with ever-stricter regulations.

Data availability It is particularly important for businesses that process health or payment card information. Without security measures for data in place, these companies could experience significant operational sluggishness or even be forced to be shut down completely. Data security measures protect data from being destroyed or altered and also from becoming unavailable due to a natural disaster such as a power outage or cybersecurity attack.
