Question

Could someone tell me what is a Data security?

Answer 1

Everything on the digital platform is stored as data. And everything is being used as data to drive forward innovation and development. In that regard, securing data becomes the primary action that one needs to take in order for securing privacy and getting in the hands of unauthorized people.

Data Security is the measures and practices involved in securing data from unauthorized access to steal data and use it for personal or economic gains. And not only that this form of security also secures data from any corruption or any other cyberattacks of sorts.
