In cybersecurity, the concept of availability stands as one of the three pillars of the CIA triad, alongside confidentiality and integrity. While confidentiality and integrity primarily focus on protecting data from unauthorized access and maintaining its accuracy and reliability, availability emphasizes ensuring that systems and data are constantly accessible to authorized users when needed, free from disruptions or downtime.

Ensuring the availability of systems and assets is essential for maintaining operational continuity and preserving the trust of stakeholders.  This crucial aspect of cybersecurity addresses threats and vulnerabilities that could undermine the reliability and performance of digital resources, potentially leading to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and compromised business operations.
