What does accountability in security entail?

What is meant by the term 'data integrity'?

The OSI security architecture provides a way of organizing the task of providing ______.

Match the security concepts with their definitions:

Security Objectives

Security is an important part of applications and systems.
Confidentiality ensures that information is protected from unauthorized disclosure.
Integrity ensures data and programs are modified only in a specified and authorized way.
Availability ensures systems work promptly and services aren't denied to authorized users.
Authenticity helps verify the genuineness of transmissions, messages, and message originators.
Accountability holds entities responsible for their actions, supporting non-repudiation, deterrence, and fault isolation.

OSI Security Architecture

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Security Architecture defines a generalized security architecture, helpful for managers to organize security tasks.
This architecture helps in defining security requirements.
It focuses on protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
It addresses security attacks and their impact on information systems.

Security Attacks

Security attacks compromise the security of an organization's information.
They attempt to gain unauthorized access to resources or cause harm/damage to information systems.
They can be deliberate or inadvertent.
