Storing and Securing Data

This webinar explains where business data is stored, from spreadsheets and databases to cloud platforms and shared drives, using simple visuals to make concepts clear. It covers the fundamentals of keeping data safe, including access controls, encryption, and backups, and why each matters in practice. Participants learn the difference between privacy and security and explore real-world breach examples to understand risks, warning signs, and the everyday habits that prevent incidents.
