Data leakage is particularly critical in nanotechnology for several reasons:
Intellectual Property Theft: Nanotechnology involves high-value research and development. Unauthorized access can lead to the theft of patents and proprietary technologies. Security Risks: Some nanotechnologies have dual-use potential, meaning they can be used for both civilian and military applications. Data leakage can thus pose significant national security risks. Competitive Disadvantage: Leaked information can give competitors an unfair advantage, compromising market position and financial returns.
