Information security:

Information security is nothing but the actions taken to prevent information from unauthorized access, use, disruption, modification, disclosure, or destruction. It concentrates on maintaining a balanced protection of confidentiality, availability of data and integrity of data. Simultaneously takes care of the efficient policy implementation, which does not hamper the organization’s productivity.
