Unit 4 – Lesson 1 – “Data – About”
1 Day
In cyberspace, data exists about everyone. The data, in its basic form, is a bit stream of zeros and ones. But these “bits” have meaning and reveal information about systems, protocols, and the structure of cyberspace. These bits also represent one’s personal information, information about their life, and external information that is used to infer one’s thoughts and behavior. Disclosing, disrupting, deceiving, and misusing data in cyberspace can invade our privacy, adversely affect our fundamental rights, and threaten our welfare. This lesson introduces data security concerns and methods for overcoming those concerns.
