An Impact Map of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability
Information security aims to protect three properties: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality means only authorized people can read the information, integrity means the information stays correct and unaltered, and availability means the information or service is usable when needed. A single attack can break more than one of these properties at once.
GOAL
Explain the three properties of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and what kind of attack breaks each one.
When a server goes down from a DoS attack, which property is mainly broken?
