What is Information Security and Why is it Necessary?
Information security is the practice of safeguarding information by mitigating associated risks. It protects information systems and the data they process, store, and transmit from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. This includes safeguarding personal, financial, and sensitive information stored in both digital and physical formats. Effective security measures require a holistic approach, integrating people, processes, and technology. This expansive scope covers various domains, including cryptography, mobile computing, cyber forensics, and online social media, reflecting its multifaceted nature and significance in modern-day operations. Additionally, this need is booming such that infosec jobs are anticipated to grow by 32% between 2022 and 2032.
