Question
A database holding sensitive customer data is
compromised, and attackers exfiltrate data without altering it. Which principle of the CIA triad has been violated?Solution
The confidentiality principle ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized users. Data exfiltration violates this principle, as attackers accessed private customer information without permission. Maintaining confidentiality involves: 1. Encryption to secure data at rest and in transit. 2. Access controls to restrict unauthorized users. 3. Regular audits to identify potential vulnerabilities. Since the attackers didnât alter the data, integrity and availability remain intact, making confidentiality the primary concern. Why Other Options Are Incorrect: ⢠B) Integrity: Incorrect because the data wasnât modified. ⢠C) Availability: The system remained operational and accessible. ⢠D) Authentication: Focuses on verifying user identity but isnât directly violated here. ⢠E) Non-repudiation: This principle isnât relevant to data theft scenarios.
