The CIA triad is a 3-worded information security, confidentiality, integrity, and
availability and it involves policies that help control threats, it can also be known as the
Central Intelligence Agency. It can be useful for managing products and data of
research. All 3 of the words have meanings, confidentiality is for privacy like for your
computers, phones, or even your own home. Some examples of confidentiality are:
training for specific aspects like strong passwords or safely putting in banking
information. Integrity is maintaining the trustworthiness of their data and not having any
outside people alter private information. Some examples of integrity are: detecting any
changes in data that might occur because of non-human-caused or a server crash.
Availability is for information to be accessible to authorized parties and to keep up with
hardware and technical systems. Some examples of availability are: fast adaptive
recovery to prevent loss of data and having backups of important documents
Differences
Authentication is the verification of someone’s user or identity and Authorization
is having the access privilege granted by an authenticated user. The difference between
the 2 is that authentication is confirmation of someone’s/your private information, and
authorization is having someone permit you to see someone’s private information.
The Conclusion
In conclusion, the CIA triad is very useful for cyber security because each word
for CIA helps with your privacy and keeping it safe and not exposed, it also helps with
having multiple backup documents or important information in a natural disaster or even
power outages. And trusting to secure any data software.
