What is Data Protection?

Data protection is the way businesses and organizations keep their data safe. This includes two main areas: data management and disaster recovery. Data management seeks to keep data secure by using encryption and other protective measures. Disaster recovery (sometimes called business continuity) is the way a company or organization recovers after a problem occurs. This includes keeping and safeguarding backups in order to restore data that has been compromised, whether maliciously or accidentally.
