The CIA Triad stands for what in Cybersecurity?

• Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability

• Control, Information, Access

• Compliance, Infrastructure, Authentication

• Cryptography, Identification, Authorization

Give an example of how Confidentiality is achieved within the CIA Triad.

• Encrypting sensitive data so that only authorized users can read it

• Ensuring that systems are always online and accessible

• Implementing firewalls to prevent unauthorized network access

• Regularly backing up data to prevent data loss

Give an example of how Integrity is achieved within the CIA Triad.

• Using checksums to verify that files have not been altered

• Limiting physical access to server rooms

• Requiring multi-factor authentication for user logins

• Conducting penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities

Give an example of how Availability is achieved within the CIA Triad.

• Implementing redundant systems so that services remain online even if one system fails

• Using strong passwords to protect user accounts

• Implementing intrusion detection systems to identify malicious activity

• Regularly patching software to fix security vulnerabilities

What are the AAA tools used to achieve CIA?

• Authentication, Authorization, Accounting

• Access, Audit, Alert

• Analysis, Assessment, Action

• Application, Architecture, Automation
