What is Information Security?
Information security (also known as InfoSec) ensures that both physical and digital data
is protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification,
inspection, recording, or destruction.
Information security differs from cybersecurity in that InfoSec aims to keep data in any
form secure, whereas cybersecurity protects only digital data.
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity, a subset of information security, is the practice of defending your
organization's cloud, networks, computers, and data from unauthorized digital access,
attack, or damage by implementing various defense processes, technologies, and
practices.
With the countless sophisticated threat actors targeting all types of organizations, it's
critical that your IT infrastructure is secured at all times to prevent a full-scale attack on
your clouds, networks, or endpoints and risk exposing your company to fines, data losses,
and damage to reputation.
