The lead successfully informs the reader what information assurance is and gives a clear overview of what to expect in the content of the article. However, more information can be included in terms of the data in transit, physical and electronic forms part.

Yes because it explains how information assurance is built on.

Yes because this is the backbone of information assurance.

  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

All content presented are relevant. However, I think an example can be included in terms of how information assurance may be applied to the intersection of corporate and privacy. I believe this would enhance and consolidate the reader's understanding of information assurance. Also, I think more information about pillars can be included in terms of how they support information assurance.

  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

No, this article is a relatively technical term and a recent topic.

No, it is rather informative.

I think the short sentences written in the article enhances the neutrality of it, by making it more factual.

10/29/2020 WEEK 7 DRAFT[edit]

Lead[edit]

Information assurance (IA) is the practice of assuring information and managing risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information. Information assurance is built on the pillars of integrity, availability, authenticity, non-repudiation and confidentiality of user data.[1] IA encompasses not only digital but also physical techniques. These protections apply to data in transit, both physical and electronic forms, as well as data at rest. IA is best thought of as a superset of information security (i.e. umbrella term) and as the business outcome of information risk management.

Overview[edit]

The McCumber Cube: one of the common information assurance schematics

Information assurance (IA) is the process of processing, storing, and transmitting and the right information to the right people at the right time.[1] IA relates to the business level and strategic risk management of information and related systems, rather than the creation and application of security controls. IA is used to benefit business through the use of information risk management, trust management, resilience, appropriate architecture, system safety, and security, which increases the utility of information to only their authorized users and reduces . Therefore, in addition to defending against malicious hackers and code (e.g., viruses), IA practitioners consider corporate governance issues such as privacy, regulatory and standards compliance, auditing, business continuity, and disaster recovery as they relate to information systems. Further, IA is an interdisciplinary field requiring expertise in business, accounting, user experience, fraud examination, forensic science, management science, systems engineering, security engineering, and criminology, in addition to computer science.

Evolution[edit]

With the growth of telecommunication networks also comes the dependency on networks, which makes communities increasing vulnerable to cyber attacks that could interrupt degrade or destroy vital services.[2] Starting from the 1950's the role and use of information assurance has grown and evolved. In the beginning information assurance involved just the backing up of data.[3] However once the volume of information increased the act of information assurance began to become automized, reducing the use of operator intervention, allowing for the creation of instant backup.[3] The last main development of information assurance is the implementation of distributed systems for the processing and storage of data through techniques like SANs and NAS as well as the use of cloud computing.[4][5][3] These three main developments of information fall in line with the three generations of information technologies, the first used to prevent intrusions, the 2nd to detect intrusion and the 3rd for survivability.[6][7] Information assurance is a collaborative effort of all sectors of life to allow a free and equal exchange of ideas.[8]

Pillars[edit]

Information assurance is built between five pillars: availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and nonrepudiation.[9] These pillars are taken into account to protect systems while still allowing them to efficiently provide services; However, these pillars do not act independently from one another, rather they interfere with the goal of the other pillars.[9] These pillars of information assurance have slowly changed to become referred to as the pillars of Cyber Security. As a administrator it is important to emphasis the pillars that you want in order to achieve your desired result for their information system, balancing the aspects of service, and privacy.

Authentication[edit]

Authentication refers to the verification of the validity of a transmission, originator, or process within an information system.[10] Authentication provides the recipient confidence in the data senders validity as well as the validity of their message.[9] There exists many ways to bolster authentication, mainly breaking down into three main ways, personally identifiable information such as a person's name, address telephone number, access to a key token, or known information, like passwords.[11]

Integrity[edit]

The pillar of integrity refers to the protection of information from unauthorized modification, retrieval or deleted.[3] The goal of information integrity is to ensure data is accurate and Integrity is accurate and complete throughout its entire lifespan.[12][13] Information integrity is ensured with an increase to user authorization.[9] The integrity of information is a function of how many degrees-of-trust there is between each ends.[13] One way that the integrity of data is through the use of redundant design of chips and software.[14] An example where integrity has been compromised is through three quarters of hospitals in the United States failing to have adequate password schemes, this poses many gangers such as allowing individual to prescribe unnecessary drugs or procedures.[13]

Availability[edit]

The pillar of availability refers to the preservation of data to be retrieved or modified from authorized individuals. Higher availability is preserved through an increase in storage system or channel reliability.[9] Breaches in information availability can result from power outages, hardware failures, DDOS, etc. The goal of high availability is to preserve access to information. Availability of information can be bolstered by the use of backup power, spare data channels, off site capabilities and continuous signal.[13]

Confidentiality[edit]

Confidentiality is in essence the opposite of Integrity. Confidentiality is a security measure which protects against who is able to access the data, which is done by shielding who has access to the information.[9] This is different from Integrity as integrity is shielding who can change the information. Confidentiality is often ensured with the use of cryptography and steganography of data.[3] Confidentiality can be seen within the classification and information superiority with international operations such as NATO[15] Information assurance confidentiality in the United States need to follow HIPAA and healthcare provider security policy information labeling and need-to-know regulations to ensure nondisclosure of information. [13]

Non-repudiation[edit]

Nonrepudiation is the integrity of the data to be true to its origin, which prevents possible denial that an action occurred.[3][1] Increasing non-repudiation makes it more difficult to deny that the information comes from a certain source. In other words, it making it so that you can not dispute the source/ authenticity of data. Non-repudiation involves the reduction to data integrity while that data is in transit, usually through the use of a man-in-the-middle attack or phishing.[16]

Interactions of Pillars[edit]

As stated earlier the pillars do not interact independently of one another, with some pillars impeding on the functioning of other pillars or in the opposite case where they boost other pillars.[9] For example the increasing the availability of information works directly against the goals of three other pillars: integrity, authentication and confidentiality. [9]

Techniques/Processes[edit]

The information assurance process typically begins with the enumeration and classification of the information assets to be protected. Next, the IA practitioner will perform a risk assessment for those assets.[17] Vulnerabilities in the information assets are determined in order to enumerate the threats capable of exploiting the assets. The assessment then considers both the probability and impact of a threat exploiting a vulnerability in an asset, with impact usually measured in terms of cost to the asset's stakeholders.[18] The sum of the products of the threats' impact and the probability of their occurring is the total risk to the information asset.

With the risk assessment complete, the IA practitioner then develops a risk management plan. This plan proposes countermeasures that involve mitigating, eliminating, accepting, or transferring the risks, and considers prevention, detection, and response to threats. A framework published by a standards organization, such as NIST RMF, Risk IT, CobiT, PCI DSS or ISO/IEC 27002, may guide development. Countermeasures may include technical tools such as firewalls and anti-virus software, policies and procedures requiring such controls as regular backups and configuration hardening, employee training in security awareness, or organizing personnel into dedicated computer emergency response team (CERT) or computer security incident response team (CSIRT). The cost and benefit of each countermeasure is carefully considered. Thus, the IA practitioner does not seek to eliminate all risks, were that possible, but to manage them in the most cost-effective way[19].

After the risk management plan is implemented, it is tested and evaluated, often by means of formal audits[17]. The IA process is an iterative one, in that the risk assessment and risk management plan are meant to be periodically revised and improved based on data gathered about their completeness and effectiveness.[2]

There do exist two meta-techniques with information assurance: audit and risk assessment.[20]

Business Risk Management[edit]

Business Risk Management breaks down into three main processes Risk Assessment, Risk Mitigation and Evaluation and assessment.[21] Information Assurance is one of the methodologies which organizations use to implement business risk management. Through the use of information assurance policies like the "BRICK" frame work.[1] Additionally, Business Risk Management also occurs to comply with federal and international laws regarding the release and security of information such as HIPAA[22] Information assurance can be aligned with corporates strategies through training and awareness, senior management involvement and support, and intra-organizational communication allowing for greater internal control and business risk management.[23] Many security executives in are firms are moving to a reliance on information assurance to protect intellectual property, protect against potential data leakage, and protect users against themselves.[18] While the use of information assurance is good ensuring certain pillars like, confidentiality, Non-repudiation etc. because of their conflicting nature an increase in security often comes at the expense of speed.[9][18] This being said, the use of information assurance in the business model improves reliable management decision making, customer trust, business continuity and good governance in both the public and private sector.[24]

Standards organization and standards[edit]

Main article: IT risk § Standards Organizations and Standards

There are a number of international and national bodies that issue standards on information assurance practices, policies, and procedures. In the UK, these include the Information Assurance Advisory Council, ACPO guidelines, and the Information Assurance Collaboration Group.[4]


10/24/2020 WEEK 5[edit]

Notes for improving Information assurance Wikipedia page.

  • Add 2 Sections
    • "Digital" which will cover the use/techniques of information assurance in the digital form.
    • "Physical" which will cover the use/ techniques of information assurance in the physical form.
  • Cut down the redundancies with tin the introduction paragraph.
  • Re-arrange information in the introduction paragraph.
  • use better cited definition of IA for overview.
  • Could add possible section about business use ex. information risk management.
  • Could also divide process into a new section of Standards and organizations which was added but has no information in it
  • link article to information security


New Section Outline

*Basic principles of IA

** confidentialty

** integrity

** avalibility

** Non-repudiation

For physical digital only have 1 source to go off of... so will delay outlining those.


10/17/2020 WEEK 4[edit]

I have been selected to contribute to the following selected article Information assurance. looking at the page itself it seems that I could best help this page by providing a greater amount of precise inline citations. Additionally, although this article is a B rank article and not a stub I think that that I can expand it a lot and make the flow of the article better/more understandable. Lastly I could add sections making the information easier to read more broken up and layed out (making it go from a 2 paragraph article to an article of nested components like Search engine privacy.
