While it’s not mentioned specifically in the CompTIA Security+ SY0-201 exam objectives, your studies will be a little easier if you understand the different elements of the Security Triad.
The Security Triad includes
-
Confidentiality
-
Integrity
-
Availabiltiy
Confidentiality is used to prevent the unintended disclosure of information.
Integrity is used to prevent data from being modified, and/or verify when it has been modified.
Availability is the use of redundancies and backups to ensure that servers, services, and data is available when needed.
Most of the objectives in Security+ can be traced back to these three principles.
For a sample question on how this principle may be tested, check out this page.
