As a security guy, we are taught the CIA triad early and it's easy to forget.
The A stands for availability and if you don't make things available, you're failing at your own job.

- zweifuss 4y agoI didn't know either, so I looked it up: The three initials stand for the three most important IT protection goals, often referred to as the "pillars of data security": Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. There are other IT protection goals, including authenticity, privacy, reliability, and (non)repudiation.
- microjim 4y ago>authenticity, privacy, reliability, and (non)repudiation. These fall under integrity, confidentiality, availability, and integrity respectively! The CIA triad is pretty comprehensive!
- doubled112 4y agoI think CIA covers everything in the list, right? Authenticity and non-repudiation falls under integrity. Privacy falls under confidentiality. Reliability in context is another word for availability.
- microjim 4y agoWell, that depends. You certainly want to ensure the availability of the information under your remit isn't compromised by a threat actor, but reducing your attack surface by, say, shutting down external internet access is certainly a valid mitigation in some circumstances.
