Data security involves protecting data from accidental or malicious damage, theft, and unauthorized access or release. Data can be lost through viruses, user errors, computer crashes, or hacking. To secure data, controls must be put in place such as establishing strong passwords, installing antivirus software, updating programs regularly, backing up data, and being careful online. Encryption also helps secure data and files during transmission by scrambling the data in a way that only someone with the encryption key can read it.
