InfoSec Best Practices

The Importance of Information Security

Information security - InfoSec - covers all business-related tools and processes to protect data and information, from network and infrastructure security to testing and auditing.

All business-related data, from information on products or services provided, customer and employee data, among other confidential information, is available in the systems used by the business. A simple security breach within the business can result in irreparable damage and huge losses.

What are the principles of Information Security?

Information security is represented by some basic principles with different characteristics such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability relative to the data and information of each business.

• Confidentiality, meaning that data and information can only be accessed and updated by employees or authorized persons.

• Integrity, in relation to the maintenance and preservation of information and data in a complete, intact and correct manner against any type of fraud, modification or elimination.

• Availability, regarding the guarantee of accessibility to the systems responsible for the delivery, storage and processing of data and information, by employees or authorized persons, through any device connected to the company's system, whenever necessary.
