The CIA Triad

The CIA Triad is the foundational model for information security policies.

  1. Confidentiality: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access. (e.g., Encryption, Permissions).
  2. Integrity: Ensuring that data is accurate and has not been altered or tampered with by unauthorized people. (e.g., Hashing, Version Control).
  3. Availability: Ensuring that authorized users have access to information and associated assets when required. (e.g., Redundant systems, DDoS protection).
