Articles about Information Security
Contrary to popular belief, information security isn’t just limited to securing information from unauthorized and unwanted access. It also entails preventing unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, inspection, recording, and destruction of any kind of information. Interestingly, although we’ve begun laying emphasis on information security in the digital age, the concept can be extended to information in physical form as well. A good information security system is built around three pillars—confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality means that the protected information isn’t disclosed to foreign entities and processes. Integrity refers to maintaining the completeness of the secured information. This means that all the secure data should be concurrently updated as required in case of a change in any secured element. Last;y, availability refers to the fact that the secured information should be accessible to those that have protected it and not others. These three principles are collectively known as the CIA of information security. It should be noted that there is no concrete definition of information security but most interpretations collectively agree upon the same fundamental concept.
