This table lists several categories of physical security threats and the negatively-affected CIA traits:
| Threat Category | Affected CIA Traits |
|---|---|
| Physical damage | Availability |
| Theft | Confidentiality, Availability |
| Unauthorized entry to the facility | Confidentiality, Integrity |
| Natural Disasters (Fire, Flood, Earthquakes) | Availability |
| Human Intervention (Sabotage, Vandalism, Strikes) | Availability, Confidentiality |
| Emergencies (Fire, Smoke, Building collapse, Explosion, Water leaks, Toxic materials) |
Availability |
Follow-up question: Why does unauthorized entry affect Confidentiality, but natural disasters don't?
