To understand the differences between terms like cyber security and information security is important because many banking regulatory bodies like Reserve bank of India, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Monetary Authority of Singapore, etc. have asked banks to have separate cyber security AIS security policies. These two words “Cyber Security” and “Information Security” are generally used as synonyms in security terminology, and create a lot of confusion among security professionals. We are discussing with some InfoSec professionals about the same and found out that some of them think that cyber security is subset of information security while others think the opposite. So, to clear this confusion, we decided to research on the same and write a blog.
