An important component of the network is the capability to limit access to certain data sets and information for a period of time or to those that are not available to all network consumers. In cases where data and information are considered sensitive, and may be available only to specific and limited audiences, the IABIN architecture will facilitate secured access to that data by only those approved by the owners and maintainers of the data. All IABIN servers will maintain proper security updates, patches, backups, and policies to insure that the IABIN network is fully functional.
