  Abstract
  Information Technology as a field of study is growing due to its importance and applications in diverse fields, areas, and sectors. Initially, IT treated as a small domain but gradually different areas have been added into it and this includesweb technology, network technology, database technology, etc. Hence all kind of domains and fields of IT is employing everywhere. The wider applications of IT subfields for different purposes lead the concern of security and that includes in its all the sub fields. Gradually security fields became started with various nomenclature with different names and objective viz. Computer Security, IT Security, Information Security, Cyber Security and most recent Information Assurance. Importantly, Information Assurance is most wider incorporating all the areas, most interdisciplinary, skill based, management and socially touched. Though it is important to note that, human resources and skilled manpower is still limited in developing countries in this field. This paper talks about the traditional areas of Information Assurance including educational opportunities, challenges, issues, etc. Moreover, the field is concerned with the technologies related to security.
