    Information Security   
Information Security is simply securing your information. As the name stands it is about business information and there is a myth that Information Security is an IT department responsibility. It is not. It is about the whole company, whole business. Information security deals with how far and with what controls you need to secure the information so that you do not overdo it or under do it.
The kind of controls to be incorporated depends on the business scenario and can be based on a Risks Management approach so that the cost of the controls does not exceed the cost of the asset itself.
