ASSIGNMENT #7

Answer the following questions.

1. What is integrity in information security?

Integrity in information security refers to the assurance that data remains unchanged
and trustworthy throughout its lifecycle, preventing unauthorized or unintended
modifications, deletions, or alterations.

2. What are the 3 principles of information security?

The three principles of information security are:
a. Confidentiality: Ensuring that information is only accessible to those who
have the authorized permission to access it.
b. Integrity: Guaranteeing that data remains accurate, complete, and
unaltered throughout its lifecycle.
c. Availability: Ensuring that information and resources are accessible and
usable by authorized users when needed.

3. What does integrity of information mean?

Integrity of information refers to the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data over
its entire lifecycle. It ensures that data remains unchanged and reliable, reflecting its
true state.

4. How do you maintain integrity in cybersecurity?

Maintaining integrity in cybersecurity involves implementing various measures such as
access controls, encryption, digital signatures, checksums, and data validation
techniques to prevent unauthorized modification, corruption, or deletion of data.

5. What does integrity mean?

Integrity, in general, refers to the quality of being honest, upright, and morally
upright. In the context of data or information, it refers to the accuracy, consistency,
and reliability of the data.

6. What is integrity control?

Integrity control is a security measure implemented to ensure the accuracy and
reliability of data by protecting it from unauthorized alteration, deletion, or
corruption.

7. What are integrity rules?

Integrity rules are predefined guidelines or constraints that dictate the acceptable
values and operations on data to maintain its integrity within a system or database.

8. What is the importance of integrity?

The importance of integrity lies in ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of data.
It helps in making informed decisions, maintaining accountability, and building trust
 among users and stakeholders.

9. What is integrity in a database?

and user-defined integrity.

12. What are different types of data integrity?

Different types of data integrity include entity integrity, referential integrity, domain
integrity, and user-defined integrity.

13. What is data quality and integrity?

Data quality and integrity refer to the overall accuracy, consistency, completeness,
and reliability of data. While data quality focuses on ensuring that data meets certain
standards or criteria, data integrity specifically pertains to preventing unauthorized or
unintentional changes to data.

14. What are the principles of data integrity?

The principles of data integrity include ensuring accuracy, consistency, reliability, and
validity of data throughout its lifecycle. This involves implementing measures to
prevent unauthorized alterations, deletions, or corruption of data.

15. Which method is used for data integrity?
