Unstructured data security involves the strategies and technologies used to protect data that does not conform to specific format, such as text documents, image files, videos, emails, and other forms of digital content. Because unstructured data is often stored in diverse and dispersed locations, securing it presents unique challenges compared to structured data. Unstructured data security focuses on identifying, classifying, and safeguarding this type of data, ensuring that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access or breaches. It includes measures like encryption, access controls, data loss prevention, and monitoring tools to detect and respond to potential security threats, while also maintaining compliance with relevant regulations. The goal is to secure unstructured data throughout its lifecycle, from creation to deletion, without disrupting access for authorized users.
