By listing human needs, Maslow focused first on physiological needs and then security needs. People desire to feel safe in any environment. Consequently, the idea of maintaining a safe environment for people to live more comfortably and securely has been an invaluable reality throughout history. Every state needs laws that will continue to exist and ensure its internal security, and the power that will enforce them. Although it is the duty of states to ensure and maintain security, everyone must be educated about security and fulfil their responsibilities.

The article’s purpose is to analyse of the key aspects of information security and influencing factors.

Information security ensures the protection of information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure the speed of work in the organization, reduce possible shortcomings in the work and increase the future return on investment. Information comes in many forms. Information may be stored on paper, in electronic form, delivered by mail or e-mail, or expressed in words between individuals. Information in any form must be protected in an appropriate form.
