The CIA Triad

The CIA Triad is the foundation of Information Assurance:

• Confidentiality — Ensuring data is only accessible to authorized users (e.g., encryption).

• Integrity — Ensuring data has not been tampered with (e.g., file hashes).

• Availability — Ensuring systems are accessible when needed (e.g., DDoS protection).
