Write-Up: The CIA Triad
The CIA triad, generally known as confidentiality, integrity, and availability, is a concept
created to direct information security policies inside an organization. To avoid confusion with the
Central Intelligence Agency, the concept is sometimes commonly referred to as the AIC triad
(availability, integrity, and confidentiality). Confidentiality is intended to protect against
unauthorized access to sensitive data. Privacy and confidentiality are essentially identical
concepts. Integrity is the management of data throughout its full lifecycle in terms of
consistency, accuracy, and dependability. Availability means information should always be
regularly and easily available to authorized persons.
with regard to Another popular technique for maintaining confidentiality is data
encryption. User IDs and passwords are common practice. Utilizing such a method is considered
authentication. It occurs when a user needs to confirm their identity in order to access data. The
security procedure known as authorization establishes a user’s or service’s level of access. In
technology, authorization is used to grant users or services permission to access certain data or
carry out specific tasks.
Rebecca is only permitted to ring up and check out orders because she is a cashier. On the
other hand, Kelanhi might also have access to the day’s final sales in her position as manager.
The system would use each user’s confirmed identification to provide them with specific access
because Rebecca and Kelanhi had distinct occupations at the convenience shop. Before granting
access, authentication confirms the user Kelanhi, and authorization establishes what they are
permitted to do after access has been granted.
