Information security (or “InfoSec”) is another way of saying “data security.” So if you are an information security specialist, your concern is for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data. (This is often referred to as the “CIA.”) Most modern business data resides electronically on servers, desktops, laptops, or somewhere on the internet—but a decade ago, before all confidential information migrated online, it was sitting in a filing cabinet. And some confidential information still is! InfoSec is concerned with making sure data in any form is kept secure and is a bit more broad than cybersecurity. So, someone could likely be an information security expert without being a cybersecurity expert. Cybersecurity is all about protecting data that is found in electronic form. Part of that is identifying what the critical data is, where it resides, and the technology you have to implement in order to protect it. There is a physical security component to both cybersecurity and information security. If you have a warehouse full of confidential paper documents, you clearly need some physical security in place to prevent anyone from rummaging through the information. And as more data becomes digital, the process to protect that data requires more advanced IT security tools. So, while you can’t put a physical padlock on a desktop computer, you can put a padlock on your server room door. In other words, if your data is stored physically or digitally, you need to be sure you have all the right physical access controls in place to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access.
