Integrity
Keeping information correct, accurate, and unchanged unless authorized.
Integrity means information stays correct, accurate, and unchanged unless an authorized person changes it.
The focus is:
“Can we trust this information?”
Integrity protects against:
- Unauthorized changes
- Accidental changes
- Corrupted data
Ways integrity is protected:
- Hashing
- Permissions
- Version control
- Audit logs
