ITPEC IP October 2022 Question 35
ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 35 of 100
Information security preserves confidentiality, integrity, and availability—the CIA triad. Confidentiality prevents unauthorized disclosure, integrity preserves correctness and completeness, and availability ensures authorized users can access information and services when required.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- choices (a) and (c) omit one required CIA property
- vulnerability is a weakness that may be exploited, not a property security seeks to preserve
Key rule: The fundamental information-security objectives are CIA; threats exploit vulnerabilities and can damage one or more of those objectives.
