Can you compare information protection and information assurance?

When asked to compare two terms or concepts, start by defining each of the terms. Then discuss their differences and similarities. Use simple, easy-to-understand language that individuals without a technical background can easily comprehend. This will demonstrate your ability to communicate across the organization and work with individuals from outside your department.

"I define information protection as securing an organization's data through techniques including encryption, security tools, and other methods. Information assurance addresses the reliability of the information and its accuracy. This is required so that individuals working with the information can trust it and feel comfortable using it to make data-driven decisions. Another factor of information assurance is ensuring that no information is lost due to equipment malfunctions or user errors."
