The CIA Triad
The CIA Triad is a fundamental framework in information security, representing three core principles: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Confidentiality ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access. Integrity guarantees that data remains accurate and unaltered during storage or transmission. Availability ensures that authorized users can access information and systems when needed. Together, these principles help organizations safeguard their data, maintain trust, and prevent security breaches. Balancing these elements is essential for effective security management and protecting digital assets in today’s interconnected world.
