| description | The terms cyber security and information security are often used interchangeably, both in the academic literature and by organizations. This article aimed to identify whether these terms can be used interchangeably, analyzing the differences between the terms, based on several definitions identified in scientific articles and books, as well as definitions presented by specialized organizations. The analysis consists in determining the keywords, that define the terms, based on which conclusions were made. It has been determined that information security places a strong emphasis on the protection of information, cyber security refers to all assets that are part of cyberspace, such as end devices (including IoT), network devices, communication media and information. Cybersecurity is an umbrella term that includes: electronic communications network and computer security, physical security, infrastructure security, personnel security, hardware and application security, business process security. Through the identified results, important contributions are made both for the academic environment, as well as for governmental and non-governmental organizations, for the understanding and correct use of terms, to reduce uncertainty and to correctly approach specialist terminology, because the field of security is increasingly important, the challenges are com.plex and diverse. |
