IA 2018 - 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.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Information Security
System and Data Protection
Malicious Software Analysis
Privacy
Regulatory and Standards Compliance
Auditing
Software Quality Assurance
Disaster Recovery
Reliability Issues
Techniques for Improving Software Quality
