When using the Internet to link organizational offices, the focus should be on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA), which form the core principles of information security.
* Confidentiality:
* Ensures that sensitive information is accessed only by authorized personnel.
* Use encryption and secure authentication protocols.
* Integrity:
* Protects data from unauthorized alteration during transmission.
* Employ data validation and hashing techniques.
* Availability:
* Ensures reliable access to information and network services.
* Use redundancy and robust network infrastructure to prevent downtime.
* A: While important, service providers and hacker attacks are specific risks rather than overarching principles.
* B: Ease and applications focus on usability but do not address comprehensive security.
* C: Authentication is a component of confidentiality, not a separate principle.
