What is Data Protection?

Data protection is the process of preserving valuable information against theft, loss or errors occurring in the storage and transmission process. The exponential growth of public and private data (as well as the increasing importance of data privacy regulations around the world) dramatically increases the need for effective data protection, and since the integrity of so many organizations hinges on quick access to a vast amount of data, contemporary data protection strategy focuses not only on safeguarding information but also on ensuring rapid recovery after corruption or loss.
