Explanation
The three fundamental principles of information security are known as the CIA Triad: (A) Confidentiality - ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it, preventing unauthorized disclosure; (B) Integrity - ensuring that information is accurate, complete, and has not been improperly modified or tampered with; (C) Availability - ensuring that authorized users have reliable and timely access to information and systems when needed. Privacy (D) is a related concept and a goal that confidentiality helps achieve, but it is not one of the three core security principles. The CIA Triad (A, B, C) is the universally accepted foundational model in information security.
