As we look at the field of Information Technology and its security, we have to consider the need and necessity to keep the information that should be secure safe. In keeping this information safe, we have to look at many of the characteristics that it will take to keep that information safe. The characteristics that this personal data must have to be considered safe from those who are not privy to the information are called the Expanded CIA Triangle.
When using computers, especially over the internet, keeping information safe and confidential will always be one of the toughest obstacles. Ensuring that you are using the Expanded CIA Triangle characteristics will increase that security but not prevent it from being compromised.
As we all know, the CIA Triangle or Triad is based upon three principles. Those security principles are Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. Despite these principles, it was necessary for an expansion of the triad because of the ever changing and developing minds of those who make attempts at information that should be kept confidential. Therefore the need for the Expanded CIA Triangle was necessary. Those principles being: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Accuracy, Authenticity, Utility and Possession.
