What is the Cia Triad?
The CIA triad is split up into 3 sections, which are confidentiality integrity and availability. Each
section has its own role, purpose, and responsibilities in the CIA Triad. The whole CIA Triad’s
purpose is to provide a security layout for companies and businesses. The article supports this
with this statement: “What is the CIA triad? Confidentiality, integrity and availability, also known
as the CIA triad, is a model designed to guide policies for information security within an
organization.”(Chai 2022). In this document I will break down the CIA Triad’s three sections and
define and describe them.
Confidentiality
This section is pretty straightforward. Information and access is limited to those who are
authorized or those who are permitted to it. For example, authorized users are given unique
passcodes or maybe keycards to access important information and the database. There can be
different levels of access or authorization in a company. Some members may have a higher
level of authorization based on their position in the organization. With Confidentiality
unauthorized access will not be possible.
