AVAILABILITY
CONFIDENTIALITY
INTEGRITY
The availability of information resources—that
they’re there when you need them—from
pieces of data to the communications
infrastructure.
The trustworthiness of information sources—that data have not been changed
inappropriately, whether deliberately or by accident. The concept also includes
assurance that the data came from the source you think it came from—the source
on which you’re relying.
Limiting information access and disclosure only to authorized
users, and preventing access to unauthorized ones.
