Information security, infosec, and cybersecurity are often used interchangeably. These terms refer to the processes and tools used to protect sensitive information and information systems from unauthorized activity. Three key principles of information security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality prevents disclosure of sensitive information to unauthorized parties. Integrity ensures that data is accurate and reliable. Availability ensures that a system or data is available when it is needed.
