Depending on the data involved this could manifest itself as benign as a single pixel in an image appearing a different color than was originally recorded, to the loss of vacation pictures or a business-critical database, to even catastrophic loss of human life in a life-critical system. If the changes are the result of unauthorized access, it may also be a failure of data security. Data integrity is not to be confused with data security, the discipline of protecting data from unauthorized parties.Īny unintended changes to data as the result of a storage, retrieval or processing operation, including malicious intent, unexpected hardware failure, and human error, is failure of data integrity. In short, data integrity aims to prevent unintentional changes to information.
Moreover, upon later retrieval, ensure the data is the same as when it was originally recorded. The overall intent of any data integrity technique is the same: ensure data is recorded exactly as intended (such as a database correctly rejecting mutually exclusive possibilities). ĭata integrity is the opposite of data corruption. It is at times used as a proxy term for data quality, while data validation is a prerequisite for data integrity. The term is broad in scope and may have widely different meanings depending on the specific context – even under the same general umbrella of computing. One potential clue: in setting up the Mac Mini, I used Migration Assistant to transfer data from a 2013 iMac running Catalina.Maintenance of data over its entire life-cycleĭata integrity is the maintenance of, and the assurance of, data accuracy and consistency over its entire life-cycle and is a critical aspect to the design, implementation, and usage of any system that stores, processes, or retrieves data. Also, since I can access the VPN using the MacBook Pro and my iPad, the issue is not my personal account.Īnyone else see this message and know what it could be about? I also did a reinstall of Mac OS on the new Mac Mini and that did not fix the problem. This does not happen on my 2015 MacBook Pro also running Mac OS 12.6. When I try to connect with Forticlient free VPN software, I am asked for the token digits and can get through that, but then I get a message: "Internal error. VPN status observer is already set." I'm trying to get my work VPN working on a new Mac Mini (M1, 2021) running Mac OS 12.6.
