Abstract :
Information is the core of today’s development. Each and every type of organizations and institutions and even individuals today depend on Information. Due to the huge amount of information generation, its management, and security become an important issue and as a result organizations are involving different strategies and techniques towards secure information and computing practice. The traditional documents also emerged hugely in recent past in an organization of its different department and divisions. Initially managing and securing information considered by the discipline of Computing, Information Science, and Information Technologies. But the gradual improved size of data and information led to the development of another subject called Computer Security. Information Technology Security developed thereafter, and that combines few fields viz. Network Security, Web Security, Database Security, etc. The manual information and documents are also important affairs to be noted and as a result, another subject evolved in academics, called ‘Information Security’; which incorporates existing IT Security. Information Assurance is the latest name in this context. This paper is conceptual in nature and kind of policy talks about the potential program on Information Assurance and allied nomenclature.
