Why each option

Network security design is built on three foundational principles known as the CIA triad: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

AconfidentialCorrect

Confidentiality ensures that information and resources are accessible only to authorized users, preventing unauthorized inspection or disclosure of sensitive data.

Bserviceability

Serviceability refers to the ease of maintaining or repairing a system and is an operational characteristic, not a core information security design principle.

Creliability

Reliability refers to a system's ability to function consistently over time and is an availability-adjacent operational metric, not a distinct security design principle.

DavailabilityCorrect

Availability ensures that authorized users can access systems, data, and resources when needed, protecting against disruptions or destruction.

EintegrityCorrect

Integrity ensures that data and systems cannot be modified or tampered with by unauthorized parties, preserving their accuracy and trustworthiness.

Fscalability

Scalability refers to a system's ability to grow and handle increased demand and is an architectural concern, not a security design principle.
