Why is Data Privacy Important?
Data privacy is important because:
● a data breach at a government agency can put top secret information in the hands of an enemy country.
● a data breach at a hospital can put personal health information in the hands of those who might misuse it.
● a data breach at a corporation can cause put proprietary data in the hands of a competitor.
● a data breach at a school can inconvenience to the parents, by getting continuous calls from tuition and
coaching centers cause annoyance and stress.
The following best practices can help you ensure data privacy:
● Understanding what data you have collected, how it is handled, processed, used, and where it is stored.
● Only necessary data required for a project should be collected.
● User consent while data collection must be of utmost importance.
What is Data Security?
Data security involves safeguarding digital information from unauthorised access, corruption, or theft throughout
its entire lifecycle. Essentially, security means protecting anything from theft and misuse. Data security is related
to securing sensitive data. It aims to prevent unauthorised access, theft, or corruption of data, regardless of
whether the data is personal or not. Systems and networks must be established to prevent malicious and
fraudulent activities from harming, destroying, misusing, or stealing crucial digital data.
Why is Data Security Important?
Cyber attacks are becoming more frequent as a result of the growing
volume of data stored in the cloud. The best course of action given the
volume of traffic being produced is to regulate and secure the transmission
of private or sensitive data everywhere, that it is known to exist. Avoid
entering sensitive information, such as your address, PAN, or Aadhar
number on unrecognised and unsafe websites.
The most possible reasons why data security is more important now are:
● A constant fear cyberattacks affect all people.
● The fast-technological changes will boom cyberattacks.
● A persistent fear everyone is impacted by cyberattacks.
● Rapid technical advancements will increase the frequency of cyberattacks.
