Information Security

Hello All!!!

Since I am new to blogging and Information Security, I decided this week that I would discuss what Information Security is. 

Based on the definition from Wikipedia,

"Information security (sometimes shortened to InfoSec) is the practice of defending information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction. It is a general term that can be used regardless of the form the data may take (electronic, physical, etc...)".
Being that I am working on MS in Management Information Systems with a concentration in Cybersecurity IT security is the area that I am planning on moving my career into.  IT Security is basically information security that is applied to technology and most of the time security for some form of computer system. 
I am looking forward to learning more about Information Security and sharing with all of you!
