Information security is all about protecting information and not just computers. It is primarily concerned with with protecting information confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA).
But what do we mean when we talk about protecting your valuable company information ?
In short, protecting confidentiality means that we recommend controls such as encryption or email blocking to protect information from unauthorised or accidental disclosure.
Protecting integrity would involve controls that prevent data from being corrupted by malware, disgruntled personnel, or hackers.
Protecting availability of your data could be via the implementation of redundancy for critical systems, or a backup and recovery process that will give you a clear recovery path in the event of a major disaster or other forms of system loss.
Computer security (as mentioned above) is a specific approach that concentrates on securing computers from threats such as viruses, online data theft and physical data theft.
Information Assurance is the process of reviewing a system and providing written evidence and summarisation that the system is adequately secured to hold information i.e. a system health check based on a given set of security criteria.
