Hi Class,

As a cyber security student, I realize how many issues can occur if an organization doesn't practice proper data protection. While studying Cybersecurity, I have encountered many examples of companies that fall victim to insider threats or cybersecurity threats due to a gap in data protection policies and practices. Data protection safeguards essential or sensitive information from breach, theft, or corruption.

Without data protection, an organization can be exposed to numerous security threats, such as phishing emails. Phishing emails happen when employees unknowingly click on malicious links. This unintentional human error can put any organization at risk. Lack of data protection can also expose the organization to a physical security risk if cybercriminals can access devices that contain sensitive data. This data is then vulnerable to being stolen or altered. Data protection can help the organization comply with the CIA triad and ensure business continuity. _ Melissa
