In the modern communication world driven by online technologies, cybersecurity is essential. Confidentiality is one of the major concepts that contribute to the security of users online as well as their personal data used in online activities. When studying networking security concepts, I learned that confidentiality is a stepping stone to protecting digital data. Indeed, the principle of confidentiality means that access to information of a user might be provided only to the user based on their authorization. Therefore, when working in the cybersecurity field, professionals develop effective means of denying access to unauthorized users so that all confidential data remains protected at all times. It is particularly relevant to secret information, both private and organizational. It is essential to protect confidential information from disclosure by third parties to prioritize the rights and interests of the owners of such information. Thus, the principle of confidentiality should be followed when digital data is processed for governmental institutions, businesses, and individuals. In such a manner, lawful use of the information will be ensured.
