CIA Triad from a Data Protection Perspective
The CIA Triad is fundamental to data protection:
- Confidentiality: Ensures data is protected from unauthorized disclosure.
- Integrity: Ensures data is accurate and reliable.
- Availability: Ensures data is accessible when and where it is needed.
Confidentiality Examples
- Information Existence Confidentiality: E.g., juvenile records.
- Information Confidentiality: E.g., encrypting a medical record database and granting access only with proper authorization.
Integrity

Problems and Problem Instances
A problem in computer science is a clearly defined task or situation that requires a solution using logical and computational methods. It describes what needs to be achieved without specifying how to achieve it. A problem usually includes input data, required output, and certain constraints that must be satisfied. For example, “finding the maximum number in a list” is a problem statement. A problem instance is a specific example of that problem with actual

Artificial Intelligence and its Branches
Definition of AI: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It refers to the ability of machines to perform cognitive tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as thinking, perceiving, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Key Branches of AI
- Machine Learning (ML): A subfield where algorithms learn patterns from data without being explicitly

Organizational Actions That Enhance or Hinder Creativity
The environment an organization cultivates significantly impacts its capacity for innovation. The following table contrasts actions that promote creativity with those that stifle it:
| Enhancing Actions | Hindering Actions |
|---|---|
| Encouraging Risk-Taking: Accepting that failure is a necessary part of learning and experimentation. | Punishing Failure: Creating a climate of fear where employees hide mistakes and avoid trying new things. |
| Providing Resources/Time: |
