You have been hired at a large company to manage network security issues. Prior to your arrival,
there was no one dedicated to security, so you are starting at the beginning. You hold a meeting

and are discussing the main functions and features of network security. One of your assistants
asks what the function of Integrity in network security is. Which of the following best describes
Integrity?

A.
The security must limit user privileges to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive
information and areas of the network that only authorized users should only be allowed to access.

B.
Integrity verifies users to be who they say they are. In data communications, the integrity of the
sender is necessary to verify that the data came from the right source. The receiver is
authenticated as well to verify that the data is going to the right destination.

C.
Data communications as well as emails need to be protected for privacy and Integrity. Network
security must provide a secure channel for the transmission of data and email that does not allow
eavesdropping by unauthorized users. Integrity ensures the privacy of data on the network
system.

D.
Integrity is a security principle that ensures the continuous accuracy of data and information
stored within network systems. Data must be kept from unauthorized modification, forgery, or any
other form of corruption either from malicious threats or corruption that is accidental in nature.
Upon receiving the email or data communication, integrity must be verified to ensure that the
message has not been altered, modified, or added to or subtracted from in transit by unauthorized
users.

E.
Security must be established to prevent parties in a data transaction from denying their
participation after the business transaction has occurred. This establishes integrity for the
transaction itself for all parties involved in the transaction.
