ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 41
ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 41 of 100
The incident damages integrity and availability, but it does not describe a loss of confidentiality. Deleting files makes the stored information incomplete or incorrect, violating integrity. The several-hour outage prevents authorized users from working, violating availability. Encryption and the absence of disclosed access indicate no stated exposure of information.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- confidentiality is not shown to be lost because no unauthorized disclosure is described
- availability alone omits the deletion and resulting loss of data integrity
Key rule: Confidentiality prevents unauthorized disclosure, integrity prevents unauthorized alteration or destruction, and availability ensures timely authorized access.
