IA 2015 - IEEE International Workshop on Information Assurance

Information assurance (IA) is primarily concerned with the protection of information systems and their
content. IA consists of information security and strategic risk management. In addition to protecting
information against malicious software and hackers, IA practitioners consider information security and
software reliability issue, such as privacy, regulatory and standards compliance, auditing, software quality
assurance, and disaster recovery. The costs entailed by software failures demonstrate that the systematic
development of software of a certain quality is a major challenge. The IA Workshop collaborates and is
co-located with QRS, giving researchers and practitioners in the field a platform to present their results
and experience to a broader audience.
