- Cybersecurity focuses on guaranteeing the security of data, data processing systems and devices in an online environment.
- Information security covers the security of information in a wider sense. Information security also includes the physical storage of data and restricting access to data outside the digital environment.
The threats of cybersecurity and information security are partially different
- Cybersecurity aims to prevent damage caused by malware and other harmful programmes, whereas information security also covers the dissemination of all sorts of information as well as the prevention of false information.
- In light of these differences, cybersecurity can be considered an aspect of information security.
- In addition, it is easy to confuse information security with data protection, which refers to the appropriate and lawful use and collection of personal data.
