In today's companies, information systems do not only support business
functions but they are also integral parts of the business operation.
For example, ERP systems (Enterprise Resource Planning) are now essential
for organizations and their supply chains. Incorrect information in
ERP systems can have serious consequences for the inter-networked
companies. In this computing environment, having a secure information
system is no longer sufficient. Companies are now seeking new approaches
regarding the administration of distributed information systems towards
increased trustworthiness and value of their information. The research
problem can be defined as: (1) Identify and specify the true needs
of information assurance at the collaborative application level for
given networked enterprises, and (2) Specify and design feasible,
cost-effective corresponding means to solve these assurance needs.
