Analysis of Information Security.

Analysis of information
security

Information security
It refers to procedures and policies for
ensuring security and privacy of
information from illegal access.

Information security example
When authentication is applied for
system that stores data, it does not
allows anyone to access data if they do
not have required permission to access
data as well.

Cyber security
It refers to process to secure network,
hardware, electronic system and data
from illegal access or techniques that
exploits security of a system as well.

Cyber security
Protecting data against
ransomeware is an example of
cyber-security.

Computer security
Computer security refers to process of
enhancing security of computer
systems and computer networks from
security issues related to hardware,
software along with electronic data
which might be accessed illegally by
hackers as well.

Computer security example
Keeping backup of data is an
example of computer security as it
provides access to data when
storage device gets corrupted as
well.

Differences between information
security, cyber security and
computer security
Information security is about securing
information while considering confidentiality,
integrity and availability. cyber security is
about protecting things from ICT related issues
and computer security refers to security of
information stored in computer systems.

Analysis of the mobile security plan
Review of policy for example identify if any
modification in policy regarding data access
is required or not
analysis of existing security strategies for
example identify if access control is effective
or not and if any modification is required

Analysis of the mobile security plan
Integrating new security solutions with existing
security strategies for example if any security
software is integrated with existing IT infrastructure
then identify if it is properly working or not
Increase employee awareness for example provide
training to employees for implementing security
strategies

Cyberwarfare and cyberterrorism
Cyberwarfare refers to attempt of a nation-state to hack computers
or networks of another nation for creating damage or disruption as
well.
For example, causing disruption to intelligent service of an country
by hacking their intelligent systems.
Cyberterrorism refers to attempt of a group of hackers to do
something to create terror among people.
For example, stealing credit cards of many consumers to create
terror among bank and it consumers as well.
