Ensuring information security helps to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access, theft, or modification. Meanwhile, protecting privacy preserves individuals' rights to control and manage their personal information. The convergence of information security and privacy is crucial in safeguarding individuals' data privacy and preventing potential harm from data breaches or misuse.
