Information Security

Information security, often shortened to InfoSec, is the practice of protecting data from unauthorized access, disruption, or destruction. It encompasses policies, tools, and procedures that safeguard digital and physical information—whether stored, transmitted, or processed. As cyber threats grow more advanced, strong information security measures are critical for businesses, governments, and individuals to maintain privacy, ensure integrity, and prevent data breaches. A robust InfoSec strategy includes encryption, access controls, monitoring, and employee awareness training.
