Information Security Solutions

Information security (sometimes called InfoSec) covers the tools and processes organizations use to protect information. It contains policy settings that prevent unauthorized persons from accessing commercial or personal information. It is a growing and evolving field, covering a wide range of areas starting from network and infrastructure security to testing and auditing.

 

Information security protects sensitive information from unauthorized activity, including inspection, modification, recording, and any interruption or destruction. Its aim is to ensure the security and confidentiality of critical data such as customer account information, financial data or intellectual property.

 

Consequences of security incidents include theft of private information, modification of data, and deletion of data. Attacks can disrupt business processes and damage a company's reputation. It may also have a tangible cost.

 

Organizations must allocate funds for security and ensure they are prepared to detect, answer, and proactively prevent attacks such as phishing, malware, viruses, insider malware, and ransomware.
