Riya V S, Dr. Aarthy C

Abstract: IT has disrupted businesses over the past decade like no other technology has ever. As IT increasingly touches our lives in many different ways like internet banking, online shopping, smart homes and self-driven cars, our dependency on IT is reaching a point of no return. Information Security (InfoSec) /Security in the Digital Economy is practice of preventing unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, inspection, recording or destruction of information (Wikipedia). It is the series of measures deployed by organizations to ensure that their customer data and business critical information are accessed and consumed by authorized people only. InfoSec also ensures that the above mentioned information is not altered or erased inadvertently. It can be leveraged by business to securely expand and be global. So, it is imperative that information security be at the forefront of all organizations to ensure there is secure delivery of services to customers, and the privacy of citizens is protected. It is equally important that the assets of an organization are protected against cyberattacks.
