      What is the 'CIA Triad' in information

      security?
      A Central Intelligence Agency's cybersecurity framework for government systems Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability — the three core principles of information security Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Cyber Insurance Architecture — a risk management framework for insuring digital assets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Certificate, Identification, and Authentication — the three elements of PKI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Continuous Integration Architecture — a DevOps security framework Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Confidentiality means to protect data from unauthorized disclosure (encryption, access controls, classification). Integrity is to ensure data is complete, accurate, and unmodified (checksums, digital signatures, audit trails). Availability means ensure systems and data are accessible when needed (redundancy, backups, DR, DDoS protection). Security controls are evaluated against the CIA triad. A DDoS attack violates Availability. Data breach violates Confidentiality. Tampering with transaction records violates Integrity. Banks must balance all three as excessive security controls can impair availability.
