An intro to security, with eggs, please
Fine. Let's start with something glib: someone once said to me, tongue-in-cheek, that IT is anything with a plug. In the same spirit, security is anything with a risk.
Information security is the discipline of keeping information safe. (I've been shortening it to security, and for brevity I'll keep doing that.)
For senior managers, that means governance and risk. For technology teams, that means at least security management and operations, and likely other things too.
I'm not actually a big fan of analogies for learning. (Spoiler: that's probably fine since I'm not sure this is really going to be an educational blog post.)
However, as you are on binturo.ng and hopefully still reading, I am going to assume you're OK with being a pine marten who owns some eggs.
How you got those eggs, or if you should have those eggs, is rather outside of the scope of this analogy. (Spoiler: these are ethically sourced eggs.)
