Cybersecurity Vs. Information Security

Even among those in the security field, the terms “cybersecurity”
and “information security” are used interchangeably.
However, the two terms are not synonymous. Each of them
addresses different kinds of security, and every organization
investing in a proper security framework must understand each
term, what it means, and how the two differ. So, in this blog, you
will understand what cybersecurity is, what information security is,
how they overlap, and what the differences are between
cybersecurity and information security.

What is cybersecurity?
Nowadays, we depend a lot on computer systems and the internet. In fact,
we keep our entire world on systems or the internet. For entertainment,
we use social media; for storing data, we use the cloud; for traveling, we
use navigation applications; for shopping, we use online shopping sites.
Even medicines are being ordered online. In this process, we give a lot of
our personal data to many sites or store a lot of personal data on the
internet. Protecting this data is very important because many
cybercriminals can access and use it. And the art of protecting that data is
called cybersecurity.

Let me also mention the risks associated with a poor cybersecurity system.
 Malware deletes your entire system’s data.
 An attacker can exploit your system and alter your important files.
 Attackers can seal your system and demand a ransom.
 Cybercriminals can steal your credit card or bank details to make an
unauthorized purchase.
It is important to have robust cybersecurity knowledge and a strong cybersecurity
team in your organization to prevent all these risks.

What is information security?
A simple definition of information security is preventing unauthorized
access during the storage or transmission of data. Biometric information,
social media profiles, and data on mobile phones can be considered
information. Therefore, research for information security covers various
fields, such as cryptocurrency and online forensics.
Information security covers three objectives, and they are:
Confidentiality: Confidentiality protects information against unauthorized
use or disclosure by guaranteeing that only those who are authorized to
access it may do so. Privacy is a closely related notion that is typically
connected with personal data.

Integrity: Integrity refers to the ability to ensure that a system and its data cannot
be tampered with by unauthorized parties. In addition to data, integrity protects
the operating system, applications, and hardware from unauthorized alteration.
Availability: Availability is the protection of support system functioning and the
assurance that data is completely available at the moment when its users require
it. The goal of availability is to guarantee that data is available to be used for
making decisions.

Where do information security and cybersecurity overlap?
Fairly speaking, there are some overlaps between cybersecurity and information
security, and this causes some justified confusion.
Almost all information is stored in digital form on a network, computer, or server.
Criminals can exploit this data to enrich themselves.
The value of the data is the most important consideration for both forms of security.
The major focus in information security is ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of data. The primary concern in cybersecurity is preventing unwanted
electronic access to data. In both cases, it is critical to assess what data, if viewed
without authorization, is most destructive to the company so that a security framework
with appropriate controls in place can be built to prevent unauthorized access.
Specialized resources exist in different teams. Both teams will probably collaborate to
construct a data protection framework. The information security team prioritizes the
data to be safeguarded, and the cybersecurity team establishes the data protection
protocol.

What is the distinction between cybersecurity and information security?
Cybersecurity Information security
Basically, it’s about the ability to keep your computer safe from cyber
attacks.
It is concerned with the security of data from any sort of risk.
It is the process of securing the data on the internet from outside attacks. It is all about safeguarding information from unauthorized access,
alteration, or deletion in order to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and
availability.
Cybersecurity usually protects everything that relates to the cyber realm. Information security is used to protect everything without considering any
realms.
Cybersecurity strikes against cyber frauds, cybercrimes, and law
enforcement.
Information security aims to prevent unauthorized access, disclosures,
modifications, or disruptions.
Cybersecurity is concerned with the dangers of cyberspace. Information security refers to the protection of data from any kind of
threat.
Serves as the first line of defense. Prepares a plan for recovering from a breach.

Final words
Information security includes cyber security as a subset. The technique of
securing systems, networks, and programs from digital threats is known as
cyber security.
Information security refers to the procedures and techniques that are planned
and executed to secure confidential, private, and sensitive information or data
in print, electronic, or any other form against unauthorised access, use, abuse,
disclosure, destruction, alteration, or disruption. Information security seeks to
safeguard all data, whereas cyber security seeks to safeguard just digital data.
Cybersecurity and information security are both critical features of technology
in the twenty-first century. As a result, every professional aspiring to greatness
in the field of data security should be well-versed in these two concepts.
