Victor Ortiz Professor Carver October 27, 2017 Midterm 1. Select one of the three characteristics of information security (CIA) and explain its importance as related to the development of policy, education, OR technology. Confidentiality is one of the three characteristics of the C.I.A. model. It establishes those with sufficient privileges and the need to access the information. Confidentiality is most related to information privacy. It is extremely important to protect the information of employees, customers, or patients. No matter what type of organization it is it will disclose confidential information. That being said, all confidential information is vulnerable to accidental exposure or an intentional hack. If an unauthorized individual or system views the information, confidentiality is breached. Confidentiality contains several measures that are applied to protect the confidentiality of information. These measures include information classification, sure document and data storage, application of general security policies, education of information custodians and end users. Confidentiality must be met in the storage, processing, and transmission of data in an organization. For example, we are going to look at a major recent data breach. On March 8, 2017, the US department of homeland security sent Equifax and notice to patch a vulnerability in versions of the Apache Struts software. On March 9, Equifax dispersed the information to applicable personnel. Although told

The types of information that are confidential and how to store them in line with current legislation.
Data confidentiality is one of the three main IT security components which are data confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). To keep your data confidential means to protect your data from unauthorized access. In other words, sensitive data are stored in a protected system that keep these information and data away from attackers and here the data confidentiality will measure the ability of the system to protect its data.
Confidentiality means not sharing information about people without their knowledge and agreement, and ensuring that written and electronic information cannot be accessed or read by people who have no reason to see it. Confidentiality is important because: Clients may not trust a career who does not keep information confidential.
Maintaining confidentiality is an essential part of my current role, I regularly record sensitive data regarding people’s income. This information will be used to establish the eligibility of certain benefits and assist in the decision on what action to take.

Question 3. Design an information security metrics program that would provide ChoicePoint executives with visibility into the effectiveness of the security program in preventing future data breaches. What information security metrics would you recommend and why? [20 points]
1. Select one of the three characteristics of information security (CIA) and explain its importance as related to the development of policy, education, OR technology.
Since the beginning of the Fall 2016 semester, we have covered a great deal of information in our information assurance class. We defined information security and discussed topics such as why we need security, the legal, ethical, and professional issues involving information security, managing and mitigating risks, how to effectively plan for security, tools such as intrusion detection and prevention systems, cryptography, physical
Answer: Information Security is the practice of defending (guiding) information by considering the CIA Triad Principles which are Confidentiality (Authorize access), Integrity (Accuracy and Completeness) and Availability.
Implication of data leakage is varied as data have different meaning to different entities. The use of computer systems to store clients’ sensitive data has raised concern due to
