ABSTRACT. Some Georgian information security professionals, even those with international certifications, incorrectly claim that 'cybersecurity is part of information security.' This misplaces cybersecurity within the realm of information security, rather than recognizing it as a separate field of IT security. Such a viewpoint is clearly unprofessional and subjective. This study seeks to elevate understanding of information security, particularly among both experienced and novice professionals. It clearly delineates and substantiates the differences between information security and cybersecurity.
