Information security: what is it and why is it important

If your company works with sensitive data, such as customer addresses and telephone numbers, it is important to be aware of this issue

It is undeniable that technology has expanded the possibilities of communication and collaboration in corporate environments. But just as a multitude of cutting-edge features are made available to work teams, a series of security measures must accompany them. After all, information security plays an important role in the protection and confidentiality of business-critical data.
 
Currently, ensuring the security of information is essential to avoid harm to companies. Call center operations, for example, can suffer ransomware attacks, in which malware, malicious software used by cybercriminals, accesses the system and encrypts all the organization's data.

What is information security?
Information security refers to methodologies and processes implemented with the mission to protect data and sensitive information of employees and the organization as a whole. Information can be either printed or in the digital environment.
 
In addition to protecting, information security analyzes information regarding its use, unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure, recording, interruption, modification and misuse. Among its main pillars are:
 
Authenticity: guarantee the identity of the person sending the information;
Confidentiality: information must be accessed only by interested parties;
Availability: data, services and systems must be accessed only by authorized users;
Integrity: Information cannot be altered or deleted without authorization.
 
Importance of information security
The four pillars mentioned above highlight the importance of information security in organizations. It is this set that guarantees assertiveness in management information.
 
If your company works with sensitive data, such as customer addresses and telephone numbers, for example, be extra careful and adopt an effective information security culture. In addition, don't forget that Brazil has the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), which came into force in 2020 and provides for severe penalties in the event of customer data leakage.
