Overview

Information security involves implementing processes and controls to protect both electronic and physical information. It determines what information needs protection, the reasons for its protection, the methods of protection, and the potential threats.

Components of Information Security:

Network Security: Protecting data and resources connected to a network.
Application Security: Securing software applications from external threats.
Physical Security: Safeguarding physical assets and premises.
Incident Response: Managing and responding to security breaches or incidents.
Supply Chain Security: Ensuring the security of the supply chain.
Organizations develop and enforce policies, frameworks, processes, and controls to secure information and achieve business goals.

Fundamental Principles of Information Security:

Confidentiality: Restricting information access to authorized individuals.
Integrity: Ensuring the accuracy and consistency of data.
Availability: Ensuring that information is accessible to authorized users when needed.
A comprehensive information security strategy incorporates these principles, enhancing privacy, access control, risk management, and incident response capabilities.

Information security reduces risks and fosters trust among stakeholders, laying the groundwork for efficient operations and sustainable growth.
