Information systems security is a wide-reaching field that deals with the protection of computers, users and networks. It works to create countermeasures that protect data, develop protocols to ensure that information does not fall outside the area of protection and maintain the availability of information for those who need access.
Information systems security is considered essential for many businesses today. Cybercrime presents a pervasive threat across all industries, and a breach could mean the loss of proprietary information or worse, customer data. Information systems security ensures that this data stays where it should and out of the hands of cyber criminals.
