Privacy and Confidentiality

Differences


Privacy: Basically the term privacy refers to keeping your information yours or limiting it to close family or your friends or your contacts, 

Whereas on the other hand, 

Confidentiality: talks about that a subjects information will stay a secret but this time from the perspective of the person receiving that information. 


For example: on any social media platform we tend to share our information to limited or specific people or groups that is a matter of privacy concerns, but the same when it is about our passwords, our biometrics, our messages ,ATM pins, CVV these are all confidential information.

These are some basic terms but play a vital role in our everyday lives , we all need privacy we don't want anyone sniffing our day to day activities we all want our space and that's the reason why being secure not just online but offline too is needed. Because privacy is not just  what we demand for its a right we all have. #RightToPrivacy

Critical Urban Infrastructure

  Urban Infrastructure is at a critical stage from a cybersecurity perspective. When we mostly talk about cybersecurity, we take computers into play, mobile devices, IOT’s but the infrastructure well unfortunately no we never even think that the infrastructure is at a potential risk. As Infrastructure is also a tempting place for adversaries. Not just the infrastructure but the Urban-Infrastructure, as living in the digital age just how everything seems to be so easily available and accomplished it is even for those sneaky adversaries whose only intention is to compromise the system in any way possible and just for information every single system infrastructure that we use in our day-to-day commute including communications, money dispensers, banks, waste management, cabs, traffic signals, vehicles, electricity, water, health care and well everything is controlled digitally one way or the other.
