Information security deals with several different "trust" aspects of information. Another common term is information assurance. Information security is not confined to computer systems, nor to information in an electronic or machine-readable form. It applies to all aspects of safeguarding or protecting information or data, in whatever form.

Commonly referred to as INFOSEC, at least by the military. It pertains to everything from proper handling of classified material to proper destruction of materials. In the business world, it would pertain to keeping sensitive or confidential company documents out of the hands of people who shouldn't be viewing them. Related topics would be security clearance, classified documents/information, sensitive material, etc.
