Information security is a set of preventive and defensive measures for organizations and technological and computer systems that safeguard and protect all the organization’s information. Seeking to maintain confidentiality, availability and integrity of data and the same.
The definition itself marks the three fundamental aspects to be taken into account when talking about information security:
