Question

Raul keeps all his important banking information in a spreadsheet that has independent password protection. Someone has attempted a “brute force” attack by guessing the file’s password. After too many incorrect guesses, the file locks down completely. While this means the infiltrator can’t access the account numbers, it also means that Raul can no longer open the spreadsheet to look up his account numbers. What information security goal has Raul’s system failed to meet? (1 point) Responses confidentiality confidentiality integrity integrity availability availability accessibility

Answer 1

Raul's system has failed to meet the goal of **availability**. While the confidentiality of his banking information was protected by the password, the lockout from the file due to too many incorrect password attempts makes it unavailable for Raul to access his own important information.
