We will explain more right away so you can effectively protect your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information Security: What it is<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information Security (or InfoSec) is defined as the set of procedures aiming to <\/span><b>protect the information<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the computer systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protection refers to print, electronic, or any other form of sensitive information to prevent any risk that may harm the company or its reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">InfoSec VS Cybersecurity &#8211; the differences<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information Security and Cybersecurity are two similar terms that are often used instead. But as similar as they are, they do not mean the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of <\/span><b>Information Security <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is much broader. It refers to the general security of computer systems and the protection of digital, physical, or spiritual information. In other words, it can include measures even for server malfunction events or natural disasters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, <\/span><b>Cybersecurity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a part of InfoSec. So, it focuses on <\/span><b>digital data<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and online information protection from cyber-attacks (e.g. malware).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information Security principles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information Security or InfoSec is defined by <\/span><b>3 basic principles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the well-known triad CIA) on which the relevant security policies are based: <\/span><b>Confidentiality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Integrity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>Availability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s see now in detail what these principles mean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confidentiality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Confidentiality<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> means that access to information is permitted only to those who should or it is important to have it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To ensure confidentiality, there must be able to identify who is trying to gain access to data. So, it should be possible to deny access in case there is no authority.<\/p>\n<p>The aim is for <strong>information<\/strong> to remain <strong>private<\/strong> and to be used only by its owners or those who need it to execute necessary processes.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Integrity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of information is about its accuracy, completeness, and reliability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does it mean? It means that the unauthorized modification or processing of information is prevented so that it is always <\/span><b>correct<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>reliable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in case an employee stops working for a company. Then, the relevant information should be well updated to reflect this specific situation ( that he or she is no longer part of the company).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Availability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last pillar of Information Security is the <\/span><b>availability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We saw how important it is that data cannot be accessed without authority. It is equally important to be able to have access the authorized people whenever it is needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the information should be <\/span><b>available to those who should have access when they need it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even when there are malfunctions or system failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of information systems security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9083 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/top.host\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inside_IblogImage_tophostITSECURITY.png\" alt=\"types of information systems security\" width=\"730\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/top.host\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inside_IblogImage_tophostITSECURITY.png 730w, https:\/\/top.host\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inside_IblogImage_tophostITSECURITY-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information systems security is not undivided. It is distinguished by different types, depending on the type of information, the tools used, and the spaces where the data is stored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there are many, we will see below the <\/span><b>most important types of InfoSec<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applications Security<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first type refers to the <\/span><b>security of applications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). This type of security aims to protect applications, and computer programs by detecting, preventing and fixing any possible errors or vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infrastructure Security<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>company\u2019s infrastructure security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also crucial. It includes measures to protect networks, servers, devices (e.g. computers), and data centers. These measures may refer to the protection against cyber attacks, as well as to natural disasters or other malfunctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud Security<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Cloud Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a lot in common with application security. The difference here is that security refers to data in applications and platforms that belong to a cloud environment becoming more and more important for the operations of modern businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cryptography<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another crucial type of security is <\/span><b>cryptography<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The method used here is encryption. It hides the information of messages which can only be accessed by those who have the right key. Otherwise, the data is not readable, which significantly increases its protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Information Security is important for every business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the modern era, data, and information are the most valuable assets of every business. If there is a breach or damage, the chances of domino-type consequences are quite increased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disclosure of your company secrets or a breach of your clients\u2019 data (that can be effectively prevented with an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/top.host\/ssl-certificates.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSL certificate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) can have <\/span><b>severe consequences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Damage to your corporate reputation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><b>financial problems <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that may even lead to bankruptcy (especially for smaller businesses) are some of the possible consequences in case your InfoSec has vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threats to Information Systems Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today&#8217;s world is pretty dangerous, especially for businesses that often have to deal with various security threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Let\u2019s see the most common threats that your company may face.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social Engineering<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Social Engineering<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> threats are well-known security threats. Attackers try to deceive and convince victims to reveal sensitive information (e.g. passwords), to obtain it for their use. A familiar example of such attacks is <\/span><b>phishing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ransomware<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/top.host\/blog\/ransomware-attacks-what-is-and-how-to-prevent-an-infection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ransomware attacks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also a common threat. Attackers encrypt sensitive information and demand financial rewards to return it decrypted. Financial damage, but also harm to your company\u2019s reputation, are the unfortunate results of not being protected against such threats.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malware<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attacks with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/top.host\/blog\/what-malware-is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">malware<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aim to infect devices of your company, cause damage to software and data, and finally harm its overall operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attacks on vulnerabilities<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any carelessness and sensitive points may prove very dangerous for any business. Most cyber-attacks, though, target exactly such vulnerabilities.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdated equipment, unprotected networks, untrained staff, and a weak corporate security policy pave the way for hackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every business has to think of numerous things to ensure proper operation and overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important is the field of Information Security.
