Cyber Security and Information Security

What is Cyber-security?

• Cyber-security is the same for most people with respect to information security. 
• Cyber-security is the ability to prevent or defend from cyber threats using cyberspace. 
• To explain this concept further, we must first explain what cyberspace and cyber-attacks are. 
• Cyberspace is a global virtual world generated by computer systems, often via the internet. 
• Cyber-security is also about securing confidential information against cyber threats, especially those stored or obtained through the Internet.
• Cyber protection is the practice of securing data and information from other Web sources. 
• Professionals in information security provide protection to networks, websites, intranets and operating systems. 
• It also guarantees that access to the information is only accessible to designated persons. 
• One person in an office environment may go to another's computer, insert a hard drive, and copy sensitive information. 
• It is most into Cyber Security umbrella. When someone tries to break into another company's network halfway around the globe and breach their infrastructure, this business wants improved information protection. 
• Cyber security is the practice of protecting information and data from outside sources on the Internet. 
• Cyber security professionals provide protection for networks, servers, intranets and computer systems. 
• It also ensures that only authorized people have access to that information. In an office setting, one individual might go to another’s computer, install a flash drive and copy confidential information. 
• This falls more under the category of information security. If someone halfway across world manages to hack into another company’s network and breach their system, this company is in need of better cyber security.

What is Cyber Attacks?

• A cyber attack is an attempt to interrupt, disable, kill, or maliciously manipulate a operating device via cyberspace to damage data integrity or steal restricted access information.
• A cyber attack is an intrusion conducted by cyber criminals against a single or more computers or networks using one or more machines. 
• A cyber attack can maliciously deactivate computers, steal data or use a broken computer as a starting point for other attacks. 
• Cyber criminals use a variety of methods to launch a cyber attack including, but not limited to, malware, phishing, ransomware, denial of service.

Types of cyber attack

• Cyber offenders are using a variety of various tactical approaches to accomplish the aims by obtaining entry or disrupting operations. 
• There's still proliferating new approaches, and some of these definitions differ, so these are the words you're most likely to hear from.

1. Denial of service
2. Man in the middle
3. Malware
4. Phishing
5. SQL injection
6. Ransomware
7. Cryptojacking
8. Zero-day exploits

Difference between Cyber-security and Information Security

• Information security is the defense of information and computer resources from unauthorized entry, use, dissemination, disturbance, alteration or degradation to ensure secrecy, credibility and functionality. 
• The safe information could be on the Phone, a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN), a computer, or a handheld computing device. 
• If you have encrypted information on a LAN that is not connected to the Internet in any way, then only protection of information is important, not cyber security. 
• When security policies are enforced across cyberspace, cyber-defense falls into play. Cyber-security is a subset of the wider Cyber Security sector.

Cyber-security and Information Security

CYBER SECURITY	INFORMATION SECURITY
This is the method of shielding data over the internet from outside the network.	To maintain security, privacy, and transparency, it's all about shielding records from unauthorized users, accessing and updating or deleting data.
It is about the need to protect computer network use from cyber threats.	It interacts with data security from attacks in some kind.
Cybersecurity to defend the cyber domain against everything.	Protection of Data is for information regardless of the environment.
Cybersecurity tackles cyberspace threat.	Data protection is about protecting the data from some sort of attack.
Cybersecurity targets financial criminals, financial theft and law enforcement.	Protection of information seeks against unauthorized access, alteration of data, and disturbance.
At the other side information security experts struggle with advanced persistent attack.	Information security expertise is the backbone of cyber management and protection practitioners associated with it evaluate money first before dealing with threats.
