WIAS 2011 - The International Workshop on Information Assurance and Security (WIAS-11)

The 1st International Workshop on Information Assurance and Security (WIAS-11) will take place in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2011), Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Information assurance and security has become an imperative research issue in the networked and distributed information sharing environments. The progressive dependence of global economic infrastructure on information technology result in an increase of security attacks on networked and distributed information systems. The most advanced technology and highly trained professionals think it challenging to find the effective ways to protect information systems, networks and sensitive data within the critical information infrastructure. There is a need to discover innovative ideas and technology for classification of information assets, risk assessment and risk management plan to provide an information assurance and security to information systems.
