What is information security and what are its aspects?

Information security, defined by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), is the technical and management security protection of data processing systems, in order to protect computer hardware, software and data from being destroyed, changed and leaked due to accidents and malicious reasons.

Information security mainly includes the following five aspects: the need to ensure confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, unauthorized copying and the security of parasitic systems.

The development trend of information security;

1, new data, new applications, new networks and new computing will become the direction and hotspot of information security in the future, which will bring new challenges to the future.

The rapid development of new networks such as Internet of Things and mobile Internet has brought greater challenges to information security. The Internet of Things will be applied in many fields such as smart grid, intelligent transportation, intelligent logistics, finance and service industry, national defense and military affairs. The service authentication mechanism and encryption mechanism in the Internet of Things are the two most important links in security, and they are also the weak links to ensure information security in the information security industry. With the rapid development of mobile Internet, the security risks of private information stored in mobile terminals are increasing.

2. Traditional network security technology can no longer meet the development of a new generation of information security industry, and the demand of enterprises for information security is constantly changing.

Traditional information security pays more attention to defense and emergency response capabilities. However, with the emergence of cloud security services, the traditional security industry that provides security services based on software and hardware has begun to change. Under the new situation of the rise of mobile Internet and cloud computing, simplifying client configuration and maintenance costs has become a new network security requirement for enterprises and a new challenge for the development of information security industry.

3. In the future, the development trend of information security industry will be from traditional security to integrated open security.

With the development of the Internet, the traditional network boundary no longer exists, which brings great changes to the future Internet applications and services, and also brings new challenges to information security. Integration and openness are one of the characteristics of Internet development, so network security is developing in the direction of distribution, scale, complexity and indirectness, and the information security industry will also explore and develop in an integrated and open security environment.
