Explanation

The Five Pillars of Information Assurance is a DoD-originated model that defines IA through five core properties: Availability, Integrity, Authentication, Confidentiality, and Non-Repudiation (AIACN). It is specifically designed around defending information systems and is the official DoD framework for IA. The Classic (CIA) model only covers Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability - three pillars. The Parkerian Hexad extends CIA with Possession, Authenticity, and Utility - six properties, not five. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a process improvement framework, not an IA model.
