Explanation
Write Once, Read Many (WORM) data storage devices are designed to best support the core security concept of integrity. Integrity is the property that ensures that data or information is accurate, complete, consistent, and protected from unauthorized modification or deletion. WORM data storage devices are devices that allow data to be written only once, and then read multiple times, without the possibility of altering or erasing the data. WORM data storage devices can support the integrity of the data, as they can prevent any accidental or intentional changes or corruption of the data, and preserve the original state and content of the data. Some examples of WORM data storage devices are optical discs, magnetic tapes, or flash drives. Scalability, availability, and confidentiality are not the core security concepts that WORM data storage devices are designed to best support. Scalability is the property that enables a system or a network to handle an increasing amount of work or demand, without compromising the performance or quality of the service. Availability is the property that ensures that data or information is accessible and usable by authorized parties, whenever and wherever needed. Confidentiality is the property that ensures that data or information is disclosed or revealed only to authorized parties, and protected from unauthorized access or exposure. WORM data storage devices may not necessarily support these security concepts, as they may not be able to accommodate more data or users, provide continuous or reliable access to the data, or restrict or encrypt the data.
