Q: Explain the three core components of the CIA Triad in Information Security.
The CIA Triad forms the foundation of all information security frameworks:
#Security #Security #L1 #DevSecOps #Compliance #IAM
🎙️ Candidate Opening & Architectural Context
""In our DevSecOps implementation, we solved this by introducing automated security quality gates. The interviewer is testing: Fundamental security theory.. I structure my answer around systematic triage first, root cause analysis second, and permanent remediation third.""

Initial Diagnostics & Root Cause Analysis
The CIA Triad forms the foundation of all information security frameworks:
- Confidentiality: Guaranteeing that sensitive data is accessed *only* by authorized individuals (e.g., using Encryption, Identity and Access Management).
- Integrity: Guaranteeing that data has not been maliciously tampered with or corrupted in transit or at rest (e.g., using Hashing algorithms, Digital Signatures, Immutable backups).
- Availability: Guaranteeing that authorized users have reliable and timely access to systems and data when needed (e.g., using Load Balancers, DDoS mitigation, Disaster Recovery failovers).
