The CIA Triad is made up of three components: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. 

-Confidentiality prevents information from being accessed by unauthorized users. It could be briefly described as privacy. Confidentiality is used to ensure users’ data is protected. Examples of confidentiality that users see is dual-authentication, tokens, and biometric validation. These examples encrypt your data, adding an extra layer of security.

-Integrity protects information from being corrupted. Maintaining accuracy, trust, and consistency throughout datas’ lifecycle. Integrity doesn’t always have to be about technology. Having integrity as a user is just as important. Using sensitive data responsibly and also looking out for potential insider threats. 

-Availability means that information can be readily available. Keeping software and hardware updated so there is not a loss of information. If there is a cyber attack and information is vulnerable, then it is not available for users to access.  

The CIA Triad is important because it is a solid framework for cybersecurity measures and protection of information.
