Description: Information Assurance refers to the practice of managing risks associated with the use of information within an organization. This concept encompasses the protection of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, ensuring that information is accessible only to those who are authorized, that it is not altered without authorization, and that it is available when needed. In the context of information security, Information Assurance becomes a fundamental pillar, as it enables organizations to identify, assess, and mitigate potential threats to their critical information. This involves the implementation of policies, procedures, and technologies that facilitate the continuous monitoring of information systems, as well as the response to security incidents. Information Assurance not only focuses on data protection but also on risk management, which implies a proactive approach to anticipating and preventing potential security breaches. In an increasingly digitized world, where data is a valuable asset, Information Assurance has become essential for maintaining customer trust and complying with data protection regulations.
