Rationale:
Information security — or infosec — is the protection of information by people and organizations in order to keep information safe for themselves, their company, and their clients. Every organization needs protection against cyber attacks and security threats. Cybercrime and malware are constant threats to anyone with an Internet presence, and data breaches are time-consuming and expensive. The goal of IT security is to protect these assets, devices and services from being disrupted, stolen or exploited by unauthorized users, otherwise known as threat actors.
