What is information security?
Information security refers to processes or methodologies that protect information or data. It is presumed that the information is confidential, private or sensitive. Actions prevented include access, disclosure, disruption, destruction or modification.
Information security often refers to electronic data, but can also be applied to physical access to printed data. So it applies not only to network security measures, but also the need to lock file cabinets, doors and install burglar alarms where sensitive data is stored, and shred confidential documents that are no longer needed.
Why you need information security
Information security is vital for computer users because of the many forms of information stored, accessed or exchanged via networked computing devices and the internet.
For data stored on computing devices, factors like weak or reused passwords and various forms of spyware threaten information security. Ransomware is another threat because it doesn’t necessarily steal data, but makes it inaccessible.
