Question

Computers

What is the difference between information security and computer security? And what is more promising? (In which direction specialists are more valued, and who is more needed). And where is more programming?

Answer 1

And where is more programming?

Nowhere. It may not be there at all.
Information security is a huge area in which there are about the same number of directions, sub-directions and sub-sub-sub-directions as in system administration. Some of them are about programming, and some are purely about people. And in small offices, there is usually only one information security specialist, but rarely two or three. And he does everything, including "about people" too. And the work can easily turn out to be unpleasant, dirty (in the moral sense), extremely unaesthetic.
As well as papers, papers, papers... Knowledge of the law will also not be superfluous.

Answer 2

Information security is primarily paper, tons of papers and regulations. This knowledge of the law and various departmental instructions.
I would say that this is generally closer to a lawyer or to labor protection than to IT.
But since this is information security, there are elements necessary for compiling a threat model, including an information security specialist who must understand the basics of programming and system administration.
But IS is not about hackers, it's all fantasy.
"Practical" information security, i.e. those people who directly implement what the information security specialist ordered are usually system administrators, very rarely developers.
And it happens that the infrastructure for paperwork and the infrastructure for work are two different infrastructures.
The work is not rewarding, corrosive, since the main function of this entire event is to explain why you need to spend 2-10 times more money for the same result and what will happen to whom if this is not done, well, and why now everyone will work with a bunch of additional inconveniences.

Answer 3

Information Security

англ. Information Security, а также — англ. InfoSec - практика предотвращения несанкционированного доступа, использования, раскрытия, искажения, изменения, исследования, записи или уничтожения информации. Это универсальное понятие применяется вне зависимости от формы, которую могут принимать данные (электронная или, например, физическая). Основная задача информационной безопасности - сбалансированная защита конфиденциальности, целостности и доступности данных, с учётом целесообразности применения и без какого-либо ущерба производительности организации.

Computer security

Раздел информационной безопасности, характеризующий невозможность возникновения ущерба компьютера, превышающего величину приемлемого ущерба для него от всех выявленных и изученных источников его отказов в определённых условиях работы и на заданном интервале времени.
Также, это меры безопасности, применяемые для защиты вычислительных устройств (компьютеры, смартфоны и другие), а также компьютерных сетей (частных и публичных сетей, включая Интернет). Поле деятельности системных администраторов охватывает все процессы и механизмы, с помощью которых цифровое оборудование, информационное поле и услуги защищаются от случайного или несанкционированного доступа, изменения или уничтожения данных, и приобретает всё большее значение в связи с растущей зависимостью от компьютерных систем в развитом сообществе.

Computer security is a more applied area of ​​information security. More programming in information security. And good specialists are valued in any field, experts are worth their weight in gold.

A specialty where dofiga programming is AppSec, there are about a hundred such specialists in the country ~ a hundred, I think
