Understanding the CIA Triad in Cybersecurity

What does the "C" in the CIA Triad stand for in cybersecurity?

• Control

• Confidentiality

• Compliance

• Communication

Which of the following is a method to ensure data confidentiality?

• Data Encryption

• Data Redundancy

• Data Compression

• Data Fragmentation

Explain how data integrity can be compromised in a network.

• By using strong passwords

• Through unauthorized data modification

• By implementing firewalls

• Through regular data backups

Which of the following best describes the concept of data integrity?

• Ensuring data is available when needed

• Ensuring data is accurate and unaltered

• Ensuring data is encrypted

• Ensuring data is backed up

What is the primary goal of ensuring system availability in cybersecurity?

• To prevent unauthorized access

• To ensure systems are operational and accessible

• To encrypt sensitive data

• To verify user identities

Identify a common threat to system availability.

• Data encryption

• Denial of Service (DoS) attack

• Data redundancy

• User authentication

Discuss how multi-factor authentication enhances security.

• By requiring only a password

• By using multiple methods to verify identity

• By encrypting data

• By backing up data

Which of the following is an example of an authentication method?

• Data encryption

• Passwords

• Data compression

• Data fragmentation

Evaluate the effectiveness of biometric authentication compared to traditional passwords.

• Biometric authentication is less secure

• Biometric authentication is more secure and convenient

• Traditional passwords are more secure

• Both are equally secure

What is a potential drawback of using biometric authentication?

• It is less secure than passwords

• It can be expensive to implement

• It requires frequent password changes

• It is not user-friendly
