Assessing the role of CIA triad in information security

A power plant contains a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system controlling the

distribution of electric power for a large military installation. The SCADA system contains both real-time

sensor data and routine administrative information. Assess the impact for the two data sets separately

and the information system as a whole.

Your paper needs to address and assess the impact (low, moderate, or high) for the loss of confidentiality,

integrity, and availability (CIA). Make sure you justify your answers.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

Paper length: 2-3 pages
Include an illustrative table, graphic, or other diagram that can be created or included from properly cited

external references.
Include two external, scholarly references in addition to the textbook. Do not use blogs, wikis, or other

non-scholarly sources.
