It consists of three main parts:<br \/>confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality makes sure that information is protected<br \/>from unauthorized access attempts. Integrity involves keeping data consistent, accurate, and<br \/>trustworthy. Lastly, availability involves information being accessible for authorized personnel.<br \/>The concept of the CIA Triad was formed over time and does not have a single creator but, \u201cby<br \/>1998, people saw the three concepts together as the CIA Triad\u201d (Chai, 2022, 7)<br \/>Authentication vs. Authorization<br \/>Authentication and authorization are two different but closely related concepts in information<br \/>security. Authentication involves the process of verifying identities of users to make sure they are<br \/>who they say they are before granting access to sensitive information. Authentication can take<br \/>many forms \u201clike passwords, fingerprints, facial recognition, etc.\u201d (Cawthra, 2020) in order to<br \/>authenticate an identity. Authorization is the process of granting or denying access to information<br \/>based on results of the authentication process. Authorization makes determinations whether you<br \/>have privileges to view, edit, delete, or add information. Therefore, authentication involves<br \/>verifying identities whereas authorization involves granting or denying rights to edit information.<br \/>Conclusion<br \/>The CIA Triad is an important framework for ensuring information is kept secure. Authentication<br \/>and authorization are two different but closely related concepts. Authentication involves<br \/>verification of identities while authorization is the process of granting or denying access to<br \/>information.<br \/>References<br \/>Cawthra, J. (2020, December).
