What does Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) mean?

Information systems security, more commonly referred to as INFOSEC, refers to the processes and methodologies involved with keeping information confidential, available, and assuring its integrity. 

Ordinarily, it is defined as protection of information and of the whole company from deliberate or accidental actions causing damage to its owners or users. Information security should be focused first of all on preventing risks, and not on reducing the adverse impacts of incidents. 

It also refers to:

• Access controls, which avert unauthorized personnel from entering or accessing a system.

• Protecting information, no matter where that information is, i.e. in transit (such as in an email) or in a storage area.

• The detection and remediation of security breaches, as well as documenting those events.

Information systems security does not just deal with computer information, but also protecting data and information in all of its forms, such as telephone conversations.

Risk assessments must be performed to determine what information poses the biggest risk. For example, one system may have the most important information on it and therefore will need more security measures to maintain security. Business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning are other facets of an Information Systems Security professional. This professional will plan for what could happen if a major business disruption occurs, but still allow business to continue as usual.

What does Cyber Security mean?

Cyber Security is often confused with Information Security.

Cyber Security focuses on protecting computer systems from unauthorized access, from being otherwise damaged or made inaccessible.

Information Security, is a broader category that looks to protect all information assets, whether in hard copy or in digital form.

In recent years, Cyber Security has fallen under media scrutiny. This can be attributed to a rapid increase of attacks, and the substantial impact to organizations.

Why is Cyber Security important?

• The costs of Cyber Security breaches are rising

Emerging privacy laws can mean significant fines for organizations. There are also non-financial costs to be considered, like reputation damage.

• Cyber-attacks are increasingly sophisticated

Cyber-attacks continue to grow in sophistication, with attackers using an ever-expanding variety of tactics. This includes social engineering, malware and ransomware.

• Cyber-crime is a big business

In 2018, the cyber-crime economy was estimated to be worth $1.5 trillion, according to a study commissioned by Bromium. Attackers can also be driven by political, ethical or social incentives.

• Cyber security is a critical, board-level issue

New regulations and reporting requirements make cyber security risk oversight a challenge. The board will continue to seek assurances from management that their cyber risk strategies will reduce the risk of attacks and limit financial and operational impacts.
