The advancement of telecommunications and information technology, as well as the growing prevalence of electronic warfare and means of transferring information rapidly across networks has given rise to increasing risks for Internet users, says information security expert Fahad Al-Dosari. “Information security, integrity and availability, known as the CIA Triangle, is the most fundamental concept in the field,” he added. As for the greatest threats to information security, he said these include viruses, attacking and disabling online services, intercepting information as it is sent from one party to another via the network, and hacking to take complete control of a system or network.
