Hello, I'm Tolga!

I work in a private company that provides services related to computer servers and networks.

I am doing various researches to understand how important information security is in today's internet age.

If you don't know what information security is, let me explain it to you briefly;

What is Information?

In terms of information systems, all kinds of assets that have a significant value that means meaning to Institutions are called “information”. All meaningful assets bearing a written, visual, digital, or physical form can be evaluated within this framework. Organizations use, produce, collect, store, archive, and reuse information while performing their functions.

Knowledge is of varying degrees of importance to institutions. According to this value, some of them are open to the public, some of them can be shared within the institution, some of them are highly confidential and only open to limited access. Information security deals with 3 properties of these assets.

Confidentiality: Information is only accessible by authorized persons, and it remains confidential to others.

Integrity: It is the case that the content has not been altered in any way during the related processes such as storing and transmitting the information.

Accessibility: It can be defined as accessing and using information when it is needed.
