Tenets of Information Systems Security
Most people agree that private information should be secure, but what does “secure information” really mean? Information that is secure satisfies three tenets, or properties, of information. If you can ensure these three tenets, you satisfy the requirements of secure information. The three tenets are as follows
Confidentiality—Only authorized users can view information.
Integrity—Only authorized users can change information.
Availability—Information is accessible by authorized users whenever they request the information.
