Data Integrity and Availability
Defenders tasked with preserving data must worry about more than whether attackers have accessed the data. They must also be concerned about whether attackers have been able to change the data. This is known as the data’s integrity. Preserving data integrity is a key part of data protection. Attackers can also destroy the data or systems that the data resides on or otherwise prevent access to the data through a variety of attack methods. Defenders concerned with data protection must build into their plans capabilities ensuring that legitimate users can access the data and that they can provide data availability.
