Core Cybersecurity Concepts

Cybersecurity is built on fundamental principles that ensure systems remain secure, reliable, and trustworthy.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized users. Encryption is commonly used to protect data.

Integrity

Integrity ensures that data is not altered or tampered with during storage or transmission. Hashing and checksums help verify data integrity.

Availability

Availability ensures that systems and services remain accessible when needed. Protection against attacks like DDoS helps maintain availability.

Authentication

Authentication verifies the identity of users before granting access to systems.
