What exactly is information security, and why is it so important, especially for public institutions?
- Information security is generally defined as the
protection of IT systems against damage and threats - Information security and cybersecurity encompass all technical and organizational measures
- These include, for example, access controls, rights management, proxies, risk assessment, etc.
- Information security is an ongoing process. Public institutions and businesses, in particular, should therefore continuously review their status and security measures
- Cybercrime and the associated threats are becoming increasingly complex, and attackers are growing more professional.
- The problem: As connectivity increases, so does the attack surface. Any device that isn’t adequately protected represents a potential entry point for cybercriminals.
- This makes it all the more important for companies of all sizes and in all industries to effectively protect their IT systems from threats and damage.
