Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) — Question 67

Which of the following terms ensures that no intentional or unintentional unauthorized modification is made to data?

Answer options

• A. Non-repudiation
• B. Integrity
• C. Authentication
• D. Confidentiality

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Confidentiality, as it focuses on preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that data is not altered without permission. While Integrity (B) is also related to data protection, it specifically refers to maintaining the accuracy and consistency of data rather than preventing unauthorized modifications. Non-repudiation (A) and Authentication (C) do not directly address the concern of unauthorized modifications.
