1. A method for managing data in a deployment comprising edge devices, the method comprising:
obtaining first data;
making a first determination regarding whether the first data comprises sensitive data, the sensitive data being ascribed a higher level of risk when compared to other data which is ascribed a lower level of risk;
in a first instance of the first determination where the first data comprises the sensitive data:
obtaining first chunks of the first data by chunking the first data;
obtaining second data;
embedding a second chunk of the first chunks of the first data inconspicuously in the second data so that a presence of the second chunk is not apparent in the second data by at least:
combining the second chunk with the second data in a steganographic manner so that, upon inspection of the second data, the second chunk is concealed, and
generating a stego key to direct the embedding of the second chunk in the second data and record locations of bits of a first binary code of the second chunk in a second binary code of the second data; and
sending the second data to an edge device of the edge devices.
