CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 791

A technician discovered that some information on the local database server was changed during a file transfer to a remote server. Which of the following should concern the technician the MOST?

Answer options

• A. Confidentiality
• B. Integrity
• C. DDoS
• D. On-path attack

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The integrity of data is crucial because it ensures that the information remains accurate and unchanged during transfer. If data is altered, it can lead to incorrect conclusions or actions based on that data, making integrity the primary concern. Confidentiality, while still important, is less critical in this scenario where the focus is on the accuracy of the data itself.
