Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Non-repudiation are key principles in cybersecurity. Which of the following represents Integrity?
Confidentiality
Integrity
Availability
Non-repudiation
Hashing is primarily used for:
Data encryption
Verifying data integrity
Securing passwords
Protecting network traffic
Version control is crucial in collaborative environments because it:
Tracks changes to files
Encrypts communication
Analyzes network traffic
Identifies security vulnerabilities
Non-repudiation ensures that:
Data remains confidential
Users cannot deny their actions
Systems are always available
Data is encrypted
What does availability in cyber security guarantee?
Information is accurate
Information is accessible to authorized users when needed
Information is encrypted
Information is classified
System upgrades are essential because they:
Slow down system performance
Enhance security and functionality
Introduce vulnerabilities
Reduce system availability
Bottlenecks in a system can cause:
Increased security
Slowdown in overall performance
Improved data integrity
Enhanced data flow
Redundancy in cyber security involves:
Removing duplicate data
Ensuring data availability
Encrypting data
Reducing data size
Duplicating critical components to provide backups is an example of:
Simplifying system architecture
Duplicating critical components to provide backups
Reducing system costs
Reducing system costs
Scalability ensures that a system can:
Handle increased loads by adding resources
Encrypt all data
Reduce the number of users
Decrease data storage
