Data security involves the technical and procedural safeguards used to protect digital information from unauthorized access, theft, or corruption, including encryption, firewalls, access controls, and intrusion detection systems. It is a core responsibility of IT and cybersecurity professionals tasked with defending an organization's databases, networks, and applications against breaches. Strong data security practices are essential for maintaining customer trust and complying with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
