What is Metadata?

Metadata is data that provides information about other data, describing the characteristics, context, and properties of a data set. This can include details such as the creation date, author, file size, format, and usage permissions. Metadata helps organize, find, and manage data more effectively by providing essential context and making it easier to search for and utilize the underlying information. By providing a comprehensive overview of data attributes and activities, metadata helps ensure compliance with security policies, enhances data governance, and supports the detection and investigation of security incidents.
