Introduction to Data Security

We know that data is important; it is often referred to as the new gold (or oil, or other wealth-generating resource).

But most organizations do not have a good understanding or mature discipline for data security.

The goal of this course is to correct that by walking through data's lifecycle, including how to inventory, classify, store, use, manage, and eventually delete it.

As part of this walkthrough, we look at how data is collected, how it flows through a company, and what intentional and unintentional use of the data happens as a result.

We explore how data is compromised and therefore how to protect it, and how to prioritize protection when you cannot have it all.
