Overview
Information is more accessible with the advancement of technology.
Today, data resides on different application platforms, websites,
and cloud servers, making the protection of that information more critical
to maintain confidentiality and privacy. Information is created
with every keystroke, click, swipe, voice, and video recording. It
is critical to maintain confidentiality and privacy to protect from
data breach, stolen identities, loss of privacy and property. For state agencies, data breaches
can be costly, time-consuming and result in exposure of confidential
information. For TxDOT, data breaches can result in loss of confidential
or valuable information.
