In this age of digitization, almost every small or big firm, private or government organization
is maintaining its data and information in a digital form. Keeping data in the form of a
softcopy is considered beneficial due to certain reasons.
Some of them are given below:
Data in the form of softcopy occupies less space as compared to physical files.
Softcopy of data is not exposed to many perils, such as fire, flood, earthquake, and so on.
Searching any file or document on a computer is quite easy and time saving.
Managing and organizing digital data is low maintenance.
It saves cost incurred on paper and ink.
However, digital data is prone to many risks. These risks are known as cyber threats. Cyber
threat refers to the malicious attempt to damage or disrupt a computer network or system,
stealing someone's intellectual property, identity or money.

Answer:
Digitization[1] is the process of converting information into a digital (i.e. computer-readable) format, in which the information is organized into bits.[1][2] The result is the representation of an object, image, sound, document or signal (usually an analog signal) by generating a series of numbers that describe a discrete set of points or samples. The result is called digital representation or, more specifically, a digital image, for the object, and digital form, for the signal. In modern practice, the digitized data is in the form of binary numbers, which facilitate computer processing and other operations, but, strictly speaking, digitizing simply means the conversion of analog source material into a numerical format; the decimal or any other number system that can be used instead.

Digitization is of crucial importance to data processing, storage and transmission, because it "allows information of all kinds in all formats to be carried with the same efficiency and also intermingled".[3] Though analog data is typically more stable, digital data can more easily be shared and accessed and can, in theory, be propagated indefinitely, without generation loss, provided it is migrated to new, stable formats as needed. This is why it is a favored way of preserving information for many organizations around the world
