5.1.1.2 Lab – Types of Data Answers

Objectives

Select 3 or 4 “non-traditional” objects or places that could now contain sensors. List the types of data that could be collected by the sensors. Determine if any of the collected data is sensitive.

Background / Scenario

It is important to recognize where sensors are being used in our world today and what types of data they are collecting. We need to determine if the collected data is sensitive in nature. If it is sensitive, is it PII or who might benefit from stealing it?
