Organizations monitor their computer networks for a host of reasons — from gaining insight into availability, performance, and failures, to identifying potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exploits. In the process, they often collect more data than actually needed on employees, customers, prospects, vendors, and more. The prevailing attitude is that because the data exists, is easy to capture, and relatively cheap to store, why not collect it? But given the expansive capabilities of today's technology, combined with how integrated it is in every aspect of our lives, there's a danger of either purposefully or inadvertently collecting unnecessary and private data.
