Cybersecurity and the Data Lifecycle
Open Until: 01/05/2025
The data lifecycle refers to the comprehensive process that data undergoes, from its creation to eventual disposal. Understanding and securing each phase of this lifecycle is essential for protecting data's confidentiality, integrity, and availability—collectively known as the CIA Triad. As data becomes increasingly valuable and prone to exploitation, cybersecurity efforts must align with the stages of the data lifecycle to safeguard sensitive information against evolving threats.
