Description
In today’s fast paced, infocentric environment, professionals increasingly rely on networked information technology to do business. Unfortunately,
with the advent of such technology came new and complex problems that continue to threaten the availability, integrity, and confidentiality
of our electronic information. It is therefore absolutely imperative to take measures to protect and defend information systems by ensuring
their security and non-repudiation. Information Assurance skillfully addresses this issue by detailing the sufficient capacity networked
systems need to operate while under attack, and itemizing failsafe design features such as alarms, restoration protocols, and management
configurations to detect problems and automatically diagnose and respond. Moreover, this volume is unique in providing comprehensive
coverage of both state-of-the-art survivability and security techniques, and the manner in which these two components interact to build
robust Information Assurance (IA).
