Integrity, Availability and Confidentiality

Three goals: Integrity, Availability and Confidentiality I see this words as the key for a product involving IT in the 21st century, let's take a look to the definitions.


  •  Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change.
  • Availability: suitable or ready for use; of use or service.
  • Confidentiality: the state of keeping or being kept secret or private. 
To ensure the security of the customers, a product or service must be certain that this 3 goals are accomplished. Every time you download an app or suscribe to a webpage, you are giving your personal data, every second you spent logged into Google or Facebook you are giving your personal data to them, every word you type on Instagram or Gmail that word is saved in some server and accesible by a person.

Now that you know this, this three words now look important, you want to be confident that this companies and the people they hire have integrity, you want to be confident that the service is available every second of every day, you want to be certain that all your data is kept safe and your confidentiality agreements are being respected.
