What is Information Protection?

Information Protection refers to the strategies, processes, and technologies used to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It commonly involves classifying data based on its sensitivity, implementing access controls, encrypting data at rest and in transit, and monitoring data activity to prevent data loss or theft. Common use cases include protecting personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, and other confidential information to comply with regulations, maintain customer trust, and prevent business disruption.
