the CIA TRIAD

The CIA triad is like the blueprint for locking down any digital system you rely on your email, your bank’s app, even your campus Wi-Fi. Picture a mission control readying a spaceship, you need three checks before launch. Confidentiality makes sure no one can spy on your private data, integrity guarantees what you send or store stays unaltered, and availability keeps everything from crashing so you can always get your info. Together they’re the three checkpoints that keep your data safe, accurate, and reachable.
