Information Assurance

Information assurance practices are rarely understood by security professionals. Traditional security and surveillance solutions were not connected to the customer’s IT network. Once these technical systems began communicating via IP, information assurance and similar skill sets became incredibly important. Information assurance can be somewhat subjective so it is very difficult to satisfy related requirements without a thorough understanding of the information assurance process. IT security vulnerabilities emerge daily so it is very difficult to play catch up and try to become a subject matter expert without extensive experience in the information assurance arena.

Without information assurance, every new device that is connected to an IT network becomes a potential vulnerability. Even if the device itself is not the problem, a new avenue into the IT network is available for people seeking to exploit network weaknesses. Information assurance looks into the potential network threats that each added component introduces and provides mitigation strategies to minimize network risk. Mitigation options resulting from a properly conducted information assurance assessment can range from technical to protocol to procedural safeguards that can be put in place to protect the IT network. Orion Security Solutions is proud to have elite information assurance experts on staff and invite you to call us and inquire about any related questions or concerns you may have.
