Information Security vs. Cybersecurity
More and more the business terms information security and cybersecurity are used interchangeably. The media and recently elected government officials are dumbing down the world of security, specifically the protection of information in all forms. It seems daily, that the major news outlets in all countries are reporting cyberattacks organizations of all types. Social media is constantly buzzing with the latest cyberattack on well known companies or the latest list of hacked emails being circulated to expose someone.
But are information security (infosec) and cybersecurity (cybersec) synonyms? In order to best answer that question, let’s explore what each term means to us today and how they came to be a part of everyday language.
According to the Oxford Dictionaries online the definitions of these terms are very similar with one small exception:
Information security – “The state of being protected against the unauthorized use of information, especially electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this.”
Cybersecurity – “The state of being protected against the criminal or unauthorized use of electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this.”
To highlight the small difference between the two definitions, recognize that cybersec (cybersecurity) relates purely to digital or electronic and infosec (information security) relates to any form of information assets, digital or paper. The prefix cyber is defined as relating to or characteristic of the culture of computers, information and communication technology (ICT), and virtual reality. Interestingly, cyber hasn’t always been associated with the digital age.
