What is Information Security?

• Information Security encompasses those steps taken to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of our information resources (data).

• Data integrity means that we have confidence that the information we use, transmit, process or store has not been modified by accident or design in an inappropriate manner.

• Data confidentiality means that no one who does not have authority to access the information has done so.

• Data availability means that the computer and the information is available when we need it.
