The terms security and privacy are often used interchangeably within the data and cloud ecosystem. While there is overlap, the differences can be costly.
Data Security is the protection of data from unwanted actions by unauthorized users. An example of data security is encryption, which converts the information into an alternative text so only authorized users with a specific “key” can access the original information.
Data Privacy, on the other hand, is a term used more commonly with the use and misuse of personal or sensitive data. It is a branch of data security that manages the consent and regulatory obligation of data, especially with 3rd parties.
As we learned in our blog GDPR Fines Rise 39% in One Year, Even with COVID19, General Data Protection Regulation impacts data within the European Union and is considered a set of data protection and privacy laws. Similar within the US is CCPA, or California Consumer Privacy Act. This law secures rights for consumers doing business with California. As explained within California Legislative Information on behalf of Attorney General Becerra, CCPA enables California consumers to disclose what personal information they have about you, what they do with that information, to delete your personal information and not sell your information.
