Introduction to Information Security

Hello Techies,

This is my first blog post. I am starting this blog with the purpose "The Information Security"
As the name suggests information security is to protect information and keep it secure. It sounds very simple but Info Sec domain is as vast as Information Technology.
We will first understand what is Information and why to secure it. I would like to share my funny experience when my first interviewer asked me this question.
"what do you mean by information and what measure you will take to secure it from someone?"
Being a noob in the information security field. I just answered, "Ohh if I have some secret information then I will keep it inside locker and  will not share with anybody." 
Then he said okay by this you will achieve confidentiality but what if you need that information and your locker is at home.
Then I answered,"Umm okay I will scramble that data and keep it with me." he said,"Okay what if you have many pieces of information and you forgot the scrambling pattern of respective  piece of information?" You will lose Integrity of your information.
