Data Security =================================== ✍️ **1. Data Encyption** The process of encoding data to protect it from unauthorized access, both when stored on disk (at-rest) and when transmitted across networks (in-transit). ✍️ **2. Data Masking** The technique of obscuring sensitive data by replacing it with fictitious or scrambled data, ensuring that sensitive information is not exposed to unauthorized users. ✍️ **3. Data Access Control** A method of substituting sensitive data with non-sensitive tokens, allowing the original data to be protected while still enabling some operations to be performed. ✍️ **4. Data Auditing** The practice of monitoring, recording, and analyzing data-related activities and events, enabling the detection of unauthorized access, data breaches, or compliance violations. ✍️ **5. Data Anonymization** The process of removing personally identifiable information (PIl) from datasets to protect individual privacy while preserving the utility of the data for analysis. ✍️ **6. Data Pseudonymization** A technique that replaces sensitive data with pseudonyms or artificial identifiers, reducing the risk of re-identification while maintaining some level of data usability. ✍️ **7. Security Monitoring** The practice of continuously monitoring and analyzing data systems, networks, and activities for potential security threats, vulnerabilities, or breaches. ✍️ **8. Activity Monitoring** The continuous monitoring and analysis of database activities and transactions to detect and prevent unauthorized access, data leaks, or policy violations. ✍️ **9. Data Loss Prevention** A set of tools and practices designed to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, leakage, or theft, by monitoring, detecting, and blocking potential data breaches.
