Summary/Abstract: A common understanding of activity regarding the protection of classified information based on standards and policies is critical. In this respect the classified information protection in electronic format (INFOSEC) plays a vital role. In general terms, information security means protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction. The terms as information security, computer security and information assurance are frequently incorrectly used. These fields are interrelated often and share the common goals of protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information; however, there are some subtle differences between them. These differences cover primarily in the approach to the subject, the methodologies used, and the areas of concentration. Information security is concerned with the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data regardless of the form the data may take: electronic, print, or other forms.
