Imagine this headline: $$Data Breach at Main Memorial Hospital!$$ A published article reveals that a stolen laptop contains sensitive patient data, including social security numbers and insurance information, in plain text.

For your initial post, consider this question: As a practitioner, would you tackle this issue from a security perspective $($using encryption to protect the data$)$ or a privacy perspective $($preventing the data from leaving the network in the first place$)?$ Justify your choice.
