What is Data Breach?
A data breach occurs when an unauthorized party gains access to sensitive information. Breaches can result from hacking, malware, insider threats, or accidental exposure (like misconfigured cloud storage). The consequences include regulatory fines, reputational damage, legal liability, and loss of customer trust. Prevention requires a layered approach: encryption, access controls, monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response planning.
