Information Security
Information security is the process of protecting
availability, privacy and integrity of information.
Access to stored information on computer
databases has increased greatly as most of the
companies store business and individual
information on computer than ever before. Much of
the information stored is highly confidential and not
for public viewing.
4
The rapid growth and widespread use of electronic
data processing and electronic business conducted
through the Internet, along with numerous
occurrences of international terrorism, fueled the
need for better methods of protecting the
computers and the information they store, process
and transmit. The academic disciplines of computer
security, information security and information
assurance emerged along with numerous
professional organizations - all sharing the common
goals of ensuring the security and reliability of
information systems.
Governments, military, corporates, financial
institutions, hospitals, and private businesses amass a
great deal of confidential information about their
employees, customers, products, research, and
financial status.
The field of Information Security has grown and
evolved significantly in recent years. As a career
choice there are many ways of gaining entry into the
field. It offers many areas for specialization
including, securing network(s) and allied
infrastructure, securing applications and databases,
security testing, information systems auditing,
business continuity planning and digital forensics
science, to name a few.
Web security is going to be a big focus in 2009.
Bigger than ever before. Be it all the social
networking we're doing or Web-based malware
exploits, this thing we call the Web is where we're
going to have to focus a large part of our security
efforts. Like it or not, it's the part of everyone's
network that's open. It's also where business logic is
exposed and where the system complexities and
subsequent vulnerabilities are simply waiting around
to be exploited.
