Information security. We hear this all the time, but what is it?
Information
Information security, infosec, and cybersecurity are often used interchangeably. Essentially these terms refer to the processes and tools used to protect sensitive information and information systems from unauthorized activity. The three key principles of information security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality security measures prevent disclosure of sensitive information to unauthorized parties. Integrity security measures ensure that data is accurate and reliable. Availability security measures ensure that a system or data is available when it is needed.
