Description: System integrity refers to the assurance that the data and operations of a system are not manipulated in an unauthorized manner. This implies that the information stored and processed by the system remains accurate, complete, and reliable. System integrity is fundamental to cybersecurity, as it protects against malicious alterations, errors, and failures that can compromise the functionality and trustworthiness of the system. To achieve this integrity, various security measures are implemented, such as access controls, audits, and verification mechanisms. Integrity not only refers to data protection but also to the correct execution of system operations, ensuring that processes are carried out according to specifications and without external interference. In an environment where system integrity is a priority, the aim is to ensure that any changes to data or operations are traceable and authorized, contributing to transparency and accountability in information management.
