For any data professional, data security should be an utmost priority. Having unsecured data lying about can cause major issues, if discovered. I’m speaking of software security, more specifically data encryption or data masking.
Finding the instances of unsecured data in an environment can be a pain. Last year, I had to look for unencrypted data within a non-production environment. In this case, I was looking for Social Security or also known as Tax Identification Numbers.
