The shortest definition of information security should be built on the fact that the concept of 'information' is important and increasing rapidly, and the definition of information should be given in a clear and understandable way.

At the same time, ideas that are transmitted, recorded, and published in the human brain in any way, formally or informally, form the basis of "knowledge", whether they are real and imaginary products.
