# CIA Triad (URZ Application)

The **CIA Triad** is the foundational security model used by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ) to protect the university's IT environment against evolving threats and to ensure legal compliance.

## Components
Within the context of the Universität Greifswald's [[campus-it]], the triad consists of:

1. **Confidentiality (Vertraulichkeit)**: Ensuring that sensitive data is kept secret and accessible only to authorized individuals.
2. **Integrity (Integrität)**: Ensuring that data and the data network remain accurate, unaltered, and protected from unauthorized modification.
3. **Availability (Verfügbarkeit)**: Ensuring that IT services and data are accessible to users whenever they are needed.

## Implementation
The URZ implements these goals through a combination of technical measures, the [[concepts/ordnung-des-universitaetsrechenzentrums]], specific "URZ Rules," and mandatory user cooperation.
