This book helps to reduce the risk of data loss by monitoring and controlling the flow of sensitive data via network, email, or web. Guardians of Data also shows guidance about data protection that data is not corrupted, is accessible for authorized purposes only, and is in compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Guardians of data means protecting data, networks, programs, and other information from unauthorized or unattended access, destruction, or change. In today’s world, guardians of data are very important because there are so many security threats and cyber-attacks. For data protection, companies are developing cybersecurity software.

The primary goal of data protection is not just to safeguard sensitive information but to ensure it remains accessible and reliable, thus preserving trust and compliance in data-centric operations. While data protection laws set out what should be done to ensure everyone’s data is used properly and fairly, data protection is a backup solution that provides reliable data protection and high accessibility for rapidly growing business data. Data protection offers comprehensive backup and restoration of functionality specifically tailored for enterprises and distributed environments.
