Information Systems are computerized systems designed with the aim to serve managers in the organization. The purpose of Information Systems is to build technological computer systems which help various institutions to perform their work. They do many jobs including office assistance, accounting tasks, meetings organization and even more in order to help institutions make their decisions. Information Systems (IS) are also the systems which provide information about the past and the present regarding the activities of institutions to help management department make appropriate decisions. Using Information Systems by institutions in management processes reduces burdens and financial expenses regarding employees and overcome many negativities of human work which may lead to getting bored with work routine or lack of the required moral incentives. Information Systems helps to decrease the institution size which represents a burden on it. If institutions adopt management systems, the competitive ability of institutions in the work environment will increase. However, some persons believe that using Information Systems in management institutions constitutes a disadvantage as these systems have given up paperwork.

Information Security (IS) is the system used to secure the data transmitted via networks. In the technological development age and the prevailing different means of information storage and exchange; i.e. information transmission on networks and from website to another, it has become important to consider and observe information and data security. Information security is the science applied to provide great and adequate protection of information against any risks which may threaten or damage it through the tools and means required to protect information against internal or external risks. All standards and procedures taken to prevent having access to information by persons who are not allowed to access them through communications are used to ensure the authenticity and correctness of these communications. All techniques used in the world cannot be executed without Information Security (IS).

Confidentiality is the term used to prevent the disclosure of information to the persons who are not allowed to know this information or disclose it. For example, the credit cards used in commercial transactions on networks. Breach of confidentiality is of several forms. For example, hacking a computer monitor for stealing passwords or getting access to confidential data without permission of its owner. Confidentiality can be breached if the computer contains sensitive information about the company employees, then if it is stolen or sold, this would be deemed as violation of the confidentiality principle. Disclosure of confidential information through a phone call is a confidentiality principle violation if the concerned persons are not allowed to obtain this information. Confidentiality is very important but insufficient to protect and maintain privacy of persons whose personal information is included in systems. Information Security (IS) is securing the data transmitted via Internet. With the technological development and the means of information storage and exchange using different methods, Confidential Information Security is used effectively although it is not a new matter of concern.
