Current and Emerging Threats to Data - How Digital Curation and ARM Principles Can Help Us Brave this New World: A Case Study

The purpose of this study is to explore how current digital curation and archives and records management (ARM) principles and practices might mitigate the threat of cyberattacks. New technological advances often create new challenges for data maintenance and protection. The fast-paced growth of the telecommunications market is indicative of technological change in general. 5G service is now poised to replace current wireless technology. The current state of growth and emerging threats provide a unique opportunity to investigate options that will help protect data. The core principles of ARM and digital curation can help us as a culture and a society navigate the current and emerging issues/problems with data. These issues will be examined through two case studies. The lessons learned from the case studies and other data management issues will help governments and health agencies, private businesses, and everyday consumers better curate their own digital materials.Master of Science in Library Scienc
