Cybersecurity controls
Cybersecurity controls include safeguards or countermeasures implemented to protect an organization from an incident.

The trick is getting a proper balance of the three. Maximizing availability can sometimes compromise confidentiality. Implementing strong integrity measures, such as error checking, may impact availability if throughput is affected. Requirements for all three categories should be carefully weighed...
