What is Data Breach in cyber security?
A data breach is an incident where confidential, sensitive, or protected information is accessed, stolen, or used by an unauthorized individual. It could involve any kind of information: personal health information, personally identifiable information, trade secrets, or intellectual property. Depending on its severity and scale, the consequences of data breaches can range from loss of reputation to significant financial damage from lawsuits or fines. Therefore, implementing robust cybersecurity measures to prevent data breaches has become imperative for organizations that store user data.
