The CIA Triad consists of three things. Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. The
purpose of the CIA Triad is to securely protect an organization’s data. The letter “C” in the triad
stands for Confidentiality, which means that only people who are authorized are able to access or
revise data. “I” stands for Integrity, which means that the data must be maintained and guarded to
where no one can change it. Finally, the “A” in the triad stands for Availability which means
when the data is available to the users. Even though authentication and authorization are kind of
what similar they are different. Authentication is basically confirming who the person says who
they are for example when you login into some websites they have some things to determine if
you are a robot by giving questions like telling you to pick a picture with cars and etc. On the
other hand, Authorization is when the system can recognize you but it determines what you can
access. for example, you can say that a school can have some information about you but they are
limited to some things such as they are not able to see your social security number and other
things of the sort.
