ITPEC IP April 2022 Question 38
ITPEC IP April 2022 — Question 38 of 100
The incident damages integrity and availability, but it does not show a loss of confidentiality. Deletion and permanent loss of files mean the stored information is no longer complete and correct, so integrity is lost. Work being impossible for several hours means authorized users could not access the needed information, so availability is also lost. The files were encrypted, and no unauthorized disclosure is described.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- choices containing confidentiality assume disclosure that the scenario never states
- availability alone omits the deletion and unrecoverable loss that damaged data integrity
Key rule: Confidentiality prevents unauthorized disclosure, integrity preserves correctness and completeness, and availability ensures authorized access when needed.
