The difference between Information protection and Information Assurance

Information protection is one of the most important policies for an individual, organization, institution, and etc. It provides assurance to individual or organization and the likes the confidentiality of their disclosure would not be at stake. It is like you signing up at Yahoo so that you could avail its services; you would definitely not want your identity be put in public and at the same time your password be shared publicly. If this does happen, your email would be opened by any third party and may result in unwanted scenarios. Methods are practically inherent with the policy that was undertaken. Protection policy should define classes that would involve in keeping safe the information, how it will be kept, who could access, when it could be available, what are the prerequisites before accessing. Overall, building a Risk Management Committee would entail answering all of the methods and techniques needed to assure that the information is protected.
