解説

問 67

  • ア

    正解 JIS Q 27000, the standard for an ISMS, defines information security as maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Therefore blank a is Availability. Availability is the property of keeping information accessible and usable by authorized users whenever needed. In addition, JIS Q 27000 states that it may also include maintaining characteristics such as authenticity, accountability, non-repudiation, and reliability, so blank b is Reliability. Reliability is the property that a system's processing and results are consistently obtained as intended. Therefore the combination a=Availability, b=Reliability, which is choice ア, is correct.

  • Incorrectイ

    The Availability in a is correct, but b as Maintainability is wrong. Maintainability is a quality characteristic that expresses how easy it is to repair faults or make changes; the additional information-security characteristic listed by JIS Q 27000 is reliability, not maintainability.

  • Incorrectウ

    The Reliability in b is correct, but a as Preservation is wrong. The three main elements of information security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability, so what goes in a is availability. Preservation is not an official term among the three elements.

  • Incorrectエ

    Both a as Preservation and b as Maintainability are wrong. Among the three main elements, a should be availability, and among the additional characteristics, b should be reliability; neither blank fits.

ここがポイント
  • The three main elements of information security (CIA) are Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
  • The additional characteristics in JIS Q 27000 are authenticity, accountability, non-repudiation, and reliability. Maintainability is a quality characteristic, not an information-security characteristic.
