InfoSec vs CyberSec: same-same but different

Information security and Cybersecurity are often mistaken used as synonymous where actually they don’t.  
To be more focused, Cybersecurity is a subset of information security.
While Information security deals with protection of information from unauthorized access, use, disruption, modification or destruction, regardless of whether the information is stored, the Cybersecurity defines the technologies and processes to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.

In a nut shell, Information security defines what is needed to protected and Cybersecurity defines ways the pathways to this content will be secured.
