Introduction

Data classification is the practice of tagging and organizing data into pre-defined categories, making it easier to locate and retrieve while enforcing secure access for authorized users.

Data classification practices are necessary for maintaining a strong security posture. By ensuring that security teams know where to find sensitive information and by putting rules in place about who is allowed to access it, you can prevent or contain data breaches and keep unauthorized users away from resources they shouldn’t have.
