What Does Information Security Policy Mean?

Techopedia Explains Information Security Policy
The evolution of computer networks has made the sharing of information ever more prevalent. Information is now exchanged at the rate of trillions of bytes per millisecond, daily numbers that might extend beyond comprehension or available nomenclature. A proportion of that data is not intended for sharing beyond a limited group and much data is protected by law or intellectual property. An information security policy endeavors to enact those protections and limit the distribution of data not in the public domain to authorized recipients.
