In your daily work, you will often need to consider the balance between safeguarding organizational data and ensuring privacy. It is crucial to understand the data$$s nature, both in its entirety and fragments, and to categorize it appropriately when addressing these requirements.

Imagine this headline: $$Data Breach at Main Memorial Hospital!$$ A published article reveals that a stolen laptop contains sensitive patient data, including social security numbers and insurance information, in plain text.

For your initial post, consider this question: As a practitioner, would you tackle this issue from a security perspective $($using encryption to protect the data$)$ or a privacy perspective $($preventing the data from leaving the network in the first place$)?$ Justify your choice.

When responding to your peers, highlight a cost or benefit associated with the chosen approach.
