The CIA Triad is a cybersecurity model that consists of three components that are
recognized as the most essential in cybersecurity. These three components consist of
Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. Starting with confidentiality, that is the aspect
that is focused on keeping data private and only accessible to authorized users. Integrity
is the part that focuses on information keeping its authenticity and consistency as well as
making sure that the data is secure and unaltered by unauthorized users as well. Lastly
Availability it’s in the name. This aspect is just making sure that information is constantly
accessible for these authorized users meaning that the proper systems are in place to store
the information safely.

Now I am going to discuss Authentication and Authorization. Authentication is the
step before authorization in which you just confirm your identity. The most common
form of authentication is typing in a password or if there is 2FA you push your
duomobile. Authorization on the other hand is giving a user permission to access a
certain location within a system. These 2 phrases are commonly used synonymously due
to authentication being all that you need most of the time. An example of this would be if
you were to log into google docs and wanted to access a document, logging in with your
email and password would be authentication while clicking on a specific document would
be authorization but because commonly authentication is the only step necessary these
two words get grouped up as having 1 purpose.
