The three key principles of information security are:
Usability, Flexibility, Accessibility
Speed, Convenience, Storage
Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability
Sharing, Access, Security
Confidentiality in information security means:
Ensuring data is not altered
Preventing unauthorized access to data
Ensuring data is available at all times
Allowing open access to all users
Integrity in information security means:
Data remains accurate and unaltered
Data is deleted regularly
Only authorized users can access data
Data is available for public use
Availability in information security means:
Making sure data is accessible when needed
Preventing access to all files
Deleting unnecessary files
Hiding confidential files
Nonrepudiation ensures:
A person cannot deny their actions or transactions
Data is stored securely
A person can access any data they want
Data is deleted after use
Authenticity means:
Users must prove they are who they claim to be
Anyone can access a system freely
Data must always be encrypted
Storing passwords in plaintext
Accountability in security means:
Tracking actions back to an individual
Allowing anonymous access to files
Sharing login credentials
Erasing system logs regularly
Application Security is about:
Protecting software and applications from threats
Making applications run faster
Creating new applications
Deleting old applications
Network Security focuses on:
