The CIA Triangle, also known as the CIA Triad, is a fundamental concept in cybersecurity and information security. It stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability:
Confidentiality: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those who are authorized to access it and that it remains confidential and protected from
unauthorized access or disclosure.
Integrity: Ensuring that information is accurate, complete, and trustworthy by preventing unauthorized or improper modifications, deletions, or alterations.
Availability: Ensuring that information and resources are available and accessible to authorized users when needed, without interruption or delay, to support business operations and functions.
The CIA Triangle forms the foundation for designing and implementing effective security measures and controls to protect data, systems, and networks from various threats and risks. It helps organizations prioritize their security efforts and ensure a balanced approach to maintaining the security and resilience of their information assets.
