Information security mainly includes the following five aspects, that is, the confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, unauthorized copying and security of the parasitic system need to be ensured. Information security itself covers a wide range, including how to prevent the leakage of commercial enterprise secrets, prevent teenagers from browsing inappropriate information, and prevent the leakage of personal information, etc. The information security system in the network environment is the key to ensuring information security, including computer security operating systems, various security protocols, security mechanisms (digital signatures, message authentication, data encryption, etc.), up to security systems, such as UniNAC, DLP, etc. As long as there are security loopholes, global security can be threatened. Information security means that information systems (including hardware, software, data, people, physical environment and infrastructure) are protected from damage, alteration, and leakage due to accidental or malicious reasons. The system operates continuously, reliably and normally, information services are not interrupted, and business continuity is ultimately achieved.
The discipline of information security can be divided into two levels: narrow security and broad security. Security in the narrow sense is based on the field of computer security based on cryptography. In the early days, China's information security majors usually used this as a benchmark, supplemented by computer technology, communication network technology and programming. Information security in the broad sense is a comprehensive discipline. From traditional computer security to information security, not only the name change is also an extension of security development. Security is not just a technical issue, but a product that combines management, technology, legal and other issues. This major cultivates senior information security professionals who can engage in computer, communications, e-commerce, e-government, e-finance and other fields.
