Vaulting

Vaulting refers to a method in cybersecurity where sensitive data is hidden or protected by adding an extra layer of security, often through encryption or secure storage solutions. It involves securely "vaulting" information so that only authorized individuals or systems can access it, minimizing risks of theft or unauthorized use. Think of it as placing valuables in a secure, locked safe—only those with the key can access the contents. Vaulting helps organizations safeguard critical data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and compliance with security standards.
