Correct answers (select three): Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability.
Brief review:
- Confidentiality: ensuring information is only accessible to those authorized to see it (e.g., encryption, access controls).
- Integrity: ensuring information is accurate and unchanged except by authorized actions (e.g., hashing, checksums, versioning).
- Availability: ensuring information and systems are accessible and usable when needed (e.g., redundancy, backups, DDoS protection).
Why the other choices are not part of the CIA triad:
- Authentication, Authorization, Identification are related security concepts (identity and access management) but not the CIA triad itself.
- Competancy (competency) is not a component of the triad.
