ITPEC IP October 2025 Question 41
ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 41 of 100
The incidents damage availability, integrity, and confidentiality, respectively — this is the CIA triad sequence in option (a).
A DDoS attack prevents legitimate users from reaching the website, so availability is lost. A typing mistake changes data from its correct value, so integrity is damaged. Leaking personal information exposes it to unauthorized parties, so confidentiality is lost.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) incorrectly treats inaccurate data as a secrecy problem and leakage as an accuracy problem
- (c) swaps the effects of service interruption and incorrect data
- (d) assigns all three incidents to the wrong CIA properties
Key rule: Availability means usable when needed, integrity means accurate and unaltered, and confidentiality means not disclosed without authorization.
