Information Security, commonly abbreviated as “IT Security” or “InfoSec,” safeguards information systems and the data they contain from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. IT Security is a critical aspect of protecting businesses, organizations, and individuals from cyber threats and data breaches.
IT Security measures are of paramount importance to protect sensitive information, maintain business continuity, and comply with regulations. It involves implementing various security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, access controls, and encryption, to prevent unauthorized access to networks, systems, and data. Additionally, IT Security professionals monitor and respond to security incidents, conduct security assessments and audits, and provide security awareness training to employees.
