Data-centric security

Data-centric security refers to a security approach that focuses on protecting data itself rather than simply securing the systems, networks, or applications that handle the data. The primary goal of data-centric security is to safeguard sensitive information regardless of its location, whether it's stored on-premises, in the cloud, or being transmitted over networks. Key principles of data-centric security include: 1. **Data Classification**: Identifying and categorizing data based on its sensitivity and importance.
