Abstract

The information assurance discipline integrates several techniques developed over many years for assuring the integrity and availability of stored informationýthe modern enterprise's most important asset. At the highest level, information assurance consists of creating multiple copies of information; migrating the copies between different storage types; managing the consistency of these copies, especially in light of the intermittent connectivity between them; and replacing the information in one copy with information taken from another.
