Data has become one of the most valuable resources for modern organizations. Businesses use data science to support forecasting, customer analysis, fraud detection, operational planning, automation, and strategic decision-making.

Modern organizations depend on networks to connect employees, applications, cloud services, databases, and devices. While this connectivity improves communication and operational efficiency, it also creates opportunities for unauthorized access and cyberattacks.

Modern organizations generate large volumes of data from sales systems, customer interactions, financial records, websites, marketing platforms, and operational processes.

Modern cloud environments often contain numerous servers, databases, networks, storage resources, security configurations, and application services.
