Data security is the protection of information and mechanisms employed to provide assurance that data will remain secure. A data security system includes resources, people, hardware, software, and the infrastructure supporting data protections. This interactive online course discusses the different aspects of data security, including categorization of data and data types, data management, and user and organization responsibility for maintaining data security. Data within an organization is an essential part of how the organization does business, makes profits, acquires its place in industry, and retains employees to perform the work. Determining the level of data sensitivity and structuring a data security system around those needs is imperative for the success of an organization and the security of organizational information.
