Unstructured data refers to information that lacks a fixed format or organization, making it challenging to manage and protect using traditional security measures. This type of data can include formats like text, image, video, and email, which are often stored in various locations and formats. Unstructured data is typically more difficult to secure because it does not fit neatly into databases and contains sensitive information that is harder to identify and monitor. Because of its lack of structure, unstructured data presents both challenges and opportunities for organizations looking to leverage all the information at their disposal. Ensuring the security of unstructured data requires specialized tools and strategies to detect, classify, and protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or breaches.
