DATA SECURITY

Data
- as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or
coded in some form suitable for better usage or processing.
- the quantities, characters, or symbols on which operations are performed by a computer

The core elements of data security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This is
a security model and guide for organizations to keep their sensitive data protected from unauthorized access
and data exfiltration.

Confidential Data is a generalized term that typically represents data classified as Restricted, according to the
data classification scheme defined in this Guideline. This term is often used interchangeably with sensitive
data.

Institutional Data is defined as all data owned or licensed.

Non-public Information is defined as any information that is classified as Private or Restricted Information
according to the data classification scheme defined in this Guideline.

Sensitive Data is a generalized term that typically represents data classified as Restricted, according to the data
classification scheme defined in this Guideline. This term is often used interchangeably with confidential data.

Storage Drives

Storage drives read or write information on magnetic or optical storage media.

- The drive can be used to store data permanently or to retrieve information from a media disk. Storage
drives can be installed inside the computer case, such as a hard drive.
- For portability, some storage drives can connect to the computer using a USB port, a FireWire port,
or an SCSI port.

Here are some common types of storage drives:

1. Hard Drive
A hard drive, or hard disk drive, is a magnetic storage device that is installed
inside the computer. The hard drive is used as permanent storage for data.
Traditional hard drives are magnetic. Magnetic hard drives have drive motors
designed to spin magnetic platters and the drive heads. In contrast, the
newer solid-state drives (SSDs) do not have moving parts.

2. Optical Drive
An optical drive is a storage device that uses lasers to read data on the
optical media. There are three types of optical drives: Compact Disc
(CD), Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc (BD).

3. External Flash Drive An external flash drive, also known as a thumb drive, is a removable
storage device that connects to a USB port. These drives can
be accessed by the operating system in the same way that other types
of drives are accessed.

Direction: Enumeration.
