Information Security (InfoSec)

Information Security (InfoSec) is the practice of protecting information by mitigating information risks. It involves preventing or reducing the probability of unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, deletion, corruption, modification, inspection, or recording. InfoSec is achieved through a combination of processes, technologies, and policies involving the management of information, regardless of its form (electronic, physical, or other) and focuses on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
