Explanation:
Integrity does not prevent paths that could lead to inappropriate disclosure.
Integrity is upheld when the assurance of the accuracy and reliability of information and systems is provided and any unauthorized modification is prevented. Environments that enforce and provide this attribute of security ensure that attackers, or mistakes by users, do not compromise the integrity of systems or data.
Users usually affect a system or its data's integrity by mistake (although internal users may also commit malicious deeds). For example, a user may insert incorrect values into a data processing application that ends up charging a customer $3,000 instead of $300.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A goal of integrity is to prevent unauthorized users from making modifications.
B. A goal of integrity is to maintain internal and external consistency.
C. A goal of integrity is to prevent authorized users from making improper modifications.
