Exam CCSP topic 1 question 126 discussion

what a messy question preventing unauthorized access to data --> C confidentiality ensuring that it is accessible to those authorized to use it --> B Availability looks like we have to guess between B and C. As CSSP is more security oriented, i am for C

Availability cant prevent unauthorized access

C confidentiality

C is the answer

The security concept that is based on preventing unauthorized access to data while also ensuring that it is accessible to those authorized to use it is availability (option B). This concept is an important part of information security and focuses on ensuring that data and systems are available to users when they need them, without being compromised or disrupted by unauthorized access or other security threats. Integrity (option A) is related to the accuracy and completeness of data, confidentiality (option C) is focused on protecting data from unauthorized disclosure, and nonrepudiation (option D) is a concept that is used to prevent someone from denying that they performed a certain action.

CCSP book states that encryption is designed to prevent unauthorized access

I'd say B. Availability. https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP/CISSP-Student-Glossary#:~:text=Availability Availability: Ensuring timely and reliable access to and use of information by authorized users.

C. Confidentiality
