 What is Computer & Information Security?
NAS defines 'Computer Security' as the "Technological and managerial procedures applied to computer systems to ensure the availability, integrity and confidentiality of information managed by the computer system." Unauthorized access and penetration of an information system (by anyone including hackers, employees, rival businesses, terrorists, etc.) to deny, exploit, corrupt, or destroy information and its functions is considered a security intrusion.
Why Should You Be Concerned?
Today, information security is important for every business or operation, whether you are protecting employee confidentiality, client information, industrial/trade secrets, or even state and national security. How much is your data worth? Malicious attacks such as viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and hacking causes large-scale destruction of programs and data. Tangible damages are estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars annually, while the intangible costs of reconstructing data or regaining security cannot be estimated. Identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities in your information systems helps to ensure and protect its availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, non-repudiation.
