Episode description
What is Data Classification?
Data classification is the process of sorting and organizing data, whether it’s structured like databases or unstructured like emails, into categories based on how sensitive it is. The process helps organizations manage data securely by determining which information requires more stringent security measures, such as encryption, access controls, or restricted sharing, to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. By categorizing data, organizations can focus more on securing and managing sensitive data or information and complying with regulations.
