What’s the Difference Between Digital Information Security and Cyber Security?

You may have heard the term “cyber security” bandied about. That’s hardly surprising since illegally accessing someone’s data, identity, or financial resources is called a “cybercrime,” which in turn creates a need for cyber security.

Yet, there’s a difference between digital security and cyber security. Digital security involves protecting your online presence (data, identity, assets). At the same time, cyber security covers more ground, protecting entire networks, computer systems, and other digital components, and the data stored within from unauthorized access.

You could make a case for calling digital security a sub-type of cyber security. Many industry professionals use the two terms interchangeably, but in reality, digital security protects information, and cyber security protects the infrastructure, all systems, networks, and information.

Why is Digital Data Security Important?

This infographic from 2019 shows some of the most significant data security breaches of the past decade. As if that wasn’t alarming enough, this article reports that over seven million data records get compromised each day, and incidents of cyber fraud and abuse increased by 20 percent in the first quarter of 2020.

Are You A “Sitting Duck”? Small businesses are under attack. Right now, extremely dangerous and well-funded cybercrime rings in China, Russia and the Ukraine are using sophisticated software systems to hack into thousands of small businesses to steal credit cards and client information, and swindle money directly out of your bank account. Some are even being funded by their own government to attack small, virtually defenseless businesses.
