This one is a bit more boring since it’s mainly definitions, my grain of sand here is to add the fun to it, so here goes nothing.
Confidentiality:
Don’t gossip and try to keep everyone as safe as possible. Damn it
Confidentiality is roughly equivalent to privacy. Measures undertaken to ensure confidentiality are designed to prevent sensitive information from reaching the wrong people, while making sure that the right people can, in fact, get it: Access must be restricted to those authorized to view the data in question.
Availability:
Does this thing even work? Damn it.
Availability is best ensured by rigorously maintaining all hardware, performing hardware repairs immediately when needed and maintaining a correctly functioning operating system environment that is free of software conflicts. It’s also important to keep current with all necessary system upgrades. Providing adequate communication bandwidth and preventing the occurrence of bottlenecks are equally important. Redundancy, failover, RAID even high-availability clusters can mitigate serious consequences when hardware issues do occur.
Can I trust this thing? Damn it.
Integrity:
Integrity involves maintaining the consistency, accuracy, and trustworthiness of data over its entire life cycle. Data must not be changed in transit, and steps must be taken to ensure that data cannot be altered by unauthorized people (for example, in a breach of confidentiality). These measures include file permissions and user access controls.
