Why each option
Protecting the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) of federal information systems requires a comprehensive approach encompassing multiple security domains.
Personnel security involves screening, training, and managing personnel to ensure they do not pose a risk to information systems, directly supporting CIA.
Access control mechanisms restrict who can access what resources and under what conditions, directly protecting confidentiality and integrity.
Configuration management ensures systems are configured securely and consistently, preventing vulnerabilities that could compromise CIA.
Media protection safeguards physical and electronic media from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction, thereby preserving CIA.
Risk assessment identifies, analyzes, and evaluates risks to information systems, forming the foundation for implementing controls that protect CIA.
