ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 42 of 100

Availability, confidentiality, integrity — each incident maps directly to one element of the CIA triad.

In (i), the exhausted battery prevents the device from working, compromising availability. In (ii), unencrypted communication causes information disclosure, compromising confidentiality. In (iii), incorrect recorded data is no longer accurate, compromising integrity. This sequence matches option (b).

Answer (b)

Why not others: (a) swaps leakage and incorrect data; (c) treats a stopped device as an integrity issue; (d) treats service loss as confidentiality and leakage as availability.

Key rule: Confidentiality prevents unauthorized disclosure, integrity preserves correctness, and availability ensures authorized access and operation when needed.
