Information Security – The First Steps Towards Infosec

Techwarn04 Nov, 2020Technology

The topic of Information Security (InfoSec) can be highly confusing and complicated. Public discussion is often limited to rare, complex, or expensive exploits that target leaders of state and celebrities. If they, with their expertise and vast source of funds and resources, cannot defend themselves, how can we? Luckily, despite the overwhelming issues and negative news, InfoSec is easily approachable by anybody with information to protect. While everyone will state absolute security is not possible, it requires little to no effort to reach a good level of security, and only marginally more to protect ourselves from all kinds of untargeted attacks—including ransomware, phishing and unauthorized access to our computer, data, and accounts.
