Cybersecurity vs Information Security : A Vital Difference

-

Cybersecurity the the trending ,sexy and catchy word. But this does'nt mean that Cybersecurity and Infosec both are same.



Yes . Although Information security and Cybersecurity appear to be similar yet there is a vital difference between the two. We often didn't have any confusion and assume that both are similar,but there is a difference. Understanding the difference is necessary.


Cybersecurity


Cybersecurity is use of various technology to protect network ,data ,computer from attack, or any unauthorized access. as all computer systems depend on computer systems and networks to function, often these areas are targeted.


Cybersecurity can be defined as the ability to protect or defend use of cyberspace from cyber attacks.



Information Security


Information Security is protection of information and information systems from invalid use ,disruption,disclosure,modification in order to protect CIA. 


What is CIA?
C- Confidentiality
I-Integrity
A-Availibility 

Whole confusion is because most of the information today is electronically saved and most of the cyberattacks are executed to disclose confidential information,harm the integrity of it or deny access to unauthorised users.
