ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the role of information sharing within the critical information protection (CIP) and critical infrastructure assurance (CIA) domains. The distinction between these two activities is profound—protection focusing largely on the activities of an organization to be adequately robust and resilient in their operations and assurance focusing on the ability of the system to continue to deliver critical services at levels that meet or exceed the demand for those services. This latter part incorporates critical infrastructure protection and a range of other activities.
