The CIA triad basically just refers to the three main objectives of cybersecurity. Those
three goals being, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality means keeping the
information secure so that people who don’t have permission to see the information can’t access
it. One example of this is a password on your phone to keep people from unlocking it. Integrity is
making sure that the information you are providing is correct and cannot be easily changed by
just anyone. One example of this is at schools, only the teacher can change the student’s grade.
“In addition, organizations must put in some means to detect any changes in data that might
occur as a result of non-human-caused events such as an electromagnetic pulse server crash.”
This quote shows that organizations are most times prepares for anything in order to keep their
data safe. The third and final one is availability. Availability means making sure that your
information is available and easily accessible to whoever wants to have access to it. One example
of this is a company keeping a website running 24/7 so the customer can always get information.
Authentication is verifying who you are, an example of this is unlocking your phone with
your face. Authorization is what you are allowed to do after authentication, for example, after
unlocking your phone, you can’t go look at your best friends bank account.
