Caging

Caging is a method in security technology used to restrict or control access to a system or data. It involves enclosing or "caging" sensitive information within a protected environment, often using physical barriers or digital safeguards like encryption and access controls. The goal is to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access or making changes. Think of it as placing confidential data behind multiple security layers—like a locked cage—to ensure only authorized users can access or modify it, thereby maintaining security and integrity.
