Explanation
The three core principles of information security form the CIA Triad: Confidentiality ensures information is accessible only to authorized parties; Integrity ensures information is accurate, complete, and has not been improperly modified; Availability ensures information and systems are accessible to authorized users when needed. Privacy is closely related to confidentiality but is not one of the three foundational pillars of the CIA Triad-it is a legal/regulatory concept derived from confidentiality. The CIA Triad is the foundational framework that virtually all security controls and policies are designed to protect.
