The Information Assurance Range

Abstract

An effective Information Assurance (IA) posture is achieved when there is confidence that information and information systems are protected against attacks through the application of security services in such areas as availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. All Department of Defense (DoD) organizations must expect attacks and must incorporate attack-detection tools and procedures that allow them to react to and recover from these incidents and events while still achieving mission success. Since technical mitigations are of no value without trained people to use them and operational procedures to guide their application, it is paramount that in implementing an effective and enduring IA framework, DoD organizations achieve a balance from all three facets of a Defense in Depth strategy: people, operations, and technology. The IA Range seeks to satisfy this strategy.
