Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and accuracy of data. If data has been altered, its integrity has been compromised. The Information Security Triangle consists of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA). Accuracy is not part of this model. (P.143)

I’m a bit confused because accuracy seems related, but I guess that falls under integrity as well?

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced where we talked about data breaches. Integrity was the key point there too.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about availability being about access, not modification.

Integrity is the answer here. Modifying the data means the information is no longer accurate or trustworthy, which is a breach of the integrity principle.

Okay, I think I got this. If the data has been changed, then the integrity of the information has been compromised. Gotta remember that for the exam.

But what about D) Accuracy? If the data is inaccurate, wouldn't that also mean the integrity has been compromised?
