Explanation:
The CIA triad provides the following three tenets for which security practices are measured:Confidentiality: It is the property of preventing disclosure of information to unauthorized individuals
or systems. Breaches of
confidentiality take many forms. Permitting someone to look over your shoulder at your computer
screen while you have confidential
data displayed on it could be a breach of confidentiality. If a laptop computer containing sensitive
information about a company’s
employees is stolen or sold, it could result in a breach of confidentiality.
Integrity: It means that data cannot be modified without authorization. Integrity is violated when an
employee accidentally or with
malicious intent deletes important data files, when a computer virus infects a computer, when an
employee is able to modify his own
salary in a payroll database, when an unauthorized user vandalizes a web site, when someone is able
to cast a very large number of
votes in an online poll, and so on.
Availability: It means that data must be available at every time when it is needed.
