Information & Data Security Basics
Information and data security refers to the practice of protecting sensitive and confidential information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. This includes a range of practices, technologies, and policies that are used to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and information assets. Information and data security aims to prevent unauthorized access to data and information and to ensure that data and information are only accessed by authorized individuals or systems. It is a critical component of any organization’s overall security strategy and is essential to protect against cyber threats and data breaches.
Why is Information & Data Security?
- Protecting sensitive information: Sensitive information such as financial records, customer data, and personal information must be protected to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.
- Regulatory compliance: Failure to comply with specific industry-centric regulations can result in significant financial penalties and reputational damage.
- Intellectual property protection: Companies often have proprietary information that must be protected to prevent theft or unauthorized use.
- Mitigating risk: Protecting data and information can help mitigate the risk of data breaches, cyber-attacks, and other security incidents that can result in financial loss, legal liability, and damage to an organization’s reputation.
- Business continuity: Ensuring the security of critical data and information is essential for maintaining business continuity in the event of a security incident or disaster.
