Description
Short Paper Week1
Briefly define and describe the core principles of information assurance (IA). Be sure to utilize multiple sources in order to gain a broad spectrum of how the IA experts describe these principles. Then, using the principles of IA you just described, detail how you would use them to secure a brand new server used by commercial airlines at a busy international airport. The server is used to store and verify passenger information who are flying into and out of the airport.
The paper must following the formatting guidelines in The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2010), (6th ed., 7th printing), and contain a title page, five scholarly references, three to five pages of content, and a reference page.
