U.K. Organization Assures Data Security

In November, Ian Bryant of the Defence Security Standards Organisation (DSSO), U.K. Ministry of Defence (MOD), discussed his work in the MOD related to information assurance. In particular, Bryant addressed the challenges of correctly labeling and assuring information. He has spent time on The National Archives (TNA) from the MOD DSSO, where he worked on the security of the data held by TNA. Bryant also has been working on a NATO panel examining the requirements for labeling data on behalf of the United Kingdom. From these experiences, he provided his views on the complexities of assuring information and the direction in which security would move in the future. In addition to many years working in security in the MOD, Bryant pointed out, he has spent time in the Cabinet Office, Central Sponsor for Information Assurance and at the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
