Introduction
Information is so crucial to all aspects of our
lives that we literally cannot afford to manage it
badly. Individuals and organisations rely on
their ability to select and process information,
both to make sense of their local environment
and to try to understand the bigger picture.
Information management underpins the key
activities of planning, analysis, action and,
above all, learning and development.

“Information overload is not a function of
the volume of information….it is the gap
between the volume of information and the
tools we have to assimilate that information
into useful knowledge.” -Reuters
Information overload is the inability to extract
knowledge from a huge quantity of information for
one of many reasons.
The first recorded use of the phrase “ information
overload” was used by the futurologist Alvin Toffler in
1970, when he predicted that the rapidly increasing
amounts of information being produced would
eventually cause people problems.
Information Overload is an increasing problem both in the
workplace, and in life in general. Those that learn to deal with it
effectively will have a major advantage in the next few years.

Information Security
Information security, or InfoSec, includes the tools and
processes for preventing, detecting, and remediating
attacks and threats to sensitive information, both digital and
non-digital. InfoSec is also concerned with documenting the
processes, threats, and systems that affect the security of
information
