The CIA Triad is an acronym for “Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.” It is a guideline widely used and referred to when creating and implementing policies for cyber security. The CIA Triad defines confidentiality as measurement privacy similar to a value to cost ratio, an example of this implemented is the way the US government classifies their data with labels; confidential, secret, and top secret from least confidential to most confidential respectively. The CIA Triad defines Integrity as maintenance and security of the information, an example of this is password protecting servers that contain information. The CIA Triad defines availability as allowing for the information to be easily accessible to the parties it is meant for, an example is purchasing and installing faster storage devices within a server.
Authorization is the verification of what a user has access to, and authentication is verifying that the user is who the user identifies as. A basic example of authorization is the president is authorized to use nuclear weapons, and the nuclear codes are the authentication required to verify as the president is the only one with access to these codes.
In conclusion, The CIA Triad is a guideline used to implement procedures and policies relating to the security of information. Inherently the CIA Triad must distinct authorization and authentication; the verification of a users access, and the verification of a users identity respectively.
