Vulnerability in Information Technology and Computing- A Study in Technological Information Assurance

ABSTRACT 
Information  Assurance  is  the  prime  name  for  the  security  and  privacy  related  affairs.  It  is 
responsible for the secure design, development and building of healthy sophisticated information 
systems. The technologies have become crucial for the development of content and  information 
systems. Information Assurance is a new name in respect of Computing and IT Security; however, 
it  has  important  significance  as  the  area deals with  both  traditional  and  technological  security 
related affairs. The IT Security primarily responsible for the computational secure systems whereas 
Information Assurance focuses not only on the design and development of secure systems but also 
policies,  framework and  regulations  leading  to secure  information systems preparation. Among 
the technological space few common names are include vulnerabilities, virus, denial of services 
etc. Moreover, the vulnerabilities include the affairs of hardware, software, network, personal and 
physical site, organizational security systems etc. This paper talks about the basics of Information 
Assurance  and  allied  affairs. Moreover,  it  talks  about  the vulnerabilities  and  affairs  leading  to 
computer access control, application security, authentication, authorization, aspects of data centric 
security, encryption, firewall etc. The paper also highlights the basic overview of the technologies 
and solution as well.
