Data security is the set of standards, processes, and technologies that protect data from corruption, loss, and abuse. Data corruption includes intentional and accidental modification of data in a way that degrades value. Data loss occurs when data is intentionally or accidentally destroyed. Data abuse typically occurs as unauthorized or inappropriate exposure or disclosure of sensitive data, either intentionally or accidentally.
