Difference between Cyber Security and Information Security

The terms Cyber Security and Information Security are often used interchangeably.As they both are responsible for security and protecting the computer system from threats and information breaches and often Cybersecurity and information security are so closely linked that they may seem synonymous and unfortunately, they are used synonymously.
If we talk about data security it’s all about securing the data from malicious user and threats. Now another question is that what is the difference between Data and Information? So one important point is that “not every data can be an information” data can be informed if it is interpreted in a context and given meaning. for example “100798” is data and if we know that it’s the date of birth of a person then it is information because it has some meaning.so information means data which has some meaning.
CYBER SECURITYINFORMATION SECURITY
It is the practice of protecting the data from outside the resource on the internet.It is all about protecting information from unauthorized user, access and data modification or removal in order to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
It is about the ability to protect the use of cyberspace from cyber attacks.It deals with protection of data from any form of threat.
Cybersecurity to protect anything in the cyber realm.Information security is for information irrespective of the realm.
Cybersecurity deals with danger against cyberspace.Information security deals with the protection of data from any form of threat.
Cybersecurity strikes against Cyber crimes, cyber frauds and law enforcement.Information security strives against unauthorised access, disclosure modification and disruption.
On the other hand cyber security professionals with cyber security deals with advanced persistent threat.Information security professionals is the foundation of data security and security professionals associated with it prioritize resources first before dealing with threats.
It deals with threats that may or may not exist in the cyber realm such as a protecting your social media account, personal information, etc.

Digital Transmission

Data can be represented either in analog or digital form. The computers used the digital form to store the information. Therefore, the data needs to be converted in digital form so that it can be used by a computer. DIGITAL-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION Digital-to-digital encoding is the representation of digital information by a digital signal. When binary 1s and 0s generated by the computer are translated into a sequence of voltage pulses that can be propagated over a wire, this process is known as digital-to-digital encoding. Digital-to-digital encoding is divided into three categories: Unipolar Encoding Polar Encoding Bipolar Encoding Unipolar Digital transmission system sends the voltage pulses over the medium link such as wire or cable. In most types of encoding, one voltage level represents 0, and another voltage level represents 1. The polarity of each pulse determines whether it is positive or negative. This type of encoding is known as Unipolar encoding as it

What is Topology?

Image
Topology defines the structure of the network of how all the components are interconnected to each other. There are two types of topology: physical and logical topology. Physical topology is the geometric representation of all the nodes in a network. Bus Topology The bus topology is designed in such a way that all the stations are connected through a single cable known as a backbone cable. Each node is either connected to the backbone cable by drop cable or directly connected to the backbone cable. When a node wants to send a message over the network, it puts a message over the network. All the stations available in the network will receive the message whether it has been addressed or not. The bus topology is mainly used in 802.3 (ethernet) and 802.4 standard networks. The configuration of a bus topology is quite simpler as compared to other topologies. The backbone cable is considered as a  "single lane"  through which the message is broadcast to all the st

5(A) W ebsite Development Timeline When you think of building a website, your thoughts rotate around two main issues – price and time. These two values depend largely on the size and scope of the project. To outline the whole development process, you can create a website development timeline, adding tasks, and establishing milestones for your project. It is the best way to track your project implementation to make sure you keep up with the deadline. The Web Site Design and Development Process There are numerous steps in the web site design and development process. From gathering initial information, to the creation of your web site, and finally to maintenance to keep your web site up to date and current.  The exact process will vary slightly from designer to designer, but the basics are the same.  1. Information Gathering  2. Planning  3. Design  4. Development 5. Testing and Delivery  6. Maintenance 5(B) <div style="text-align:center;"> <!--Rows Starts w
