It is one of the core principles of information security, along with confidentiality and integrity. _ Availability in cybersecurity refers to ensuring that systems, applications, and data are accessible to authorized users when needed
• Applied in disaster recovery planning to ensure that critical systems remain operational during and after an incident.• Used in service level agreements (SLAs) to guarantee uptime for cloud-based services.
Factors include hardware reliability, network uptime, redundant systems, and the effectiveness of backup and recovery processes.
Organizations can improve availability by implementing failover systems, redundant hardware, and regular maintenance to prevent downtime.
When all three standards are met, an organization is considered to have a strong security posture and will be able to better handle threat incidents. Availability is a key element of the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) triad, ensuring that authorized users can access data and systems when needed
