These days, “Data is king,” and a lot more. Data powers everything, and unlike coal and coal combustion, data and databases aren’t going away. Any organization that uses personal and other sensitive data must have a firm, proven plan for business continuity in the event of a disaster or cyberattack.

An alternate approach is to tie data and potentially software to specific physical instances of a digital system. Individualizing digital systems.
