Which set of principles defines data security goals?

• A. Access Control
• B. Security Objectives
• C. Gait Recognition
• D. Sniff Test

Answer: (B)

Security objectives define the goals for data protection, outlining what must be achieved to safeguard information. They set the targets for confidentiality, integrity, and availability and guide the design of policies and controls to meet those goals. Access control is a mechanism that enforces who can access resources, but it’s a method to achieve the goals rather than the goals themselves. Gait recognition is a biometric technique, not a set of data security goals. A sniff test isn’t a formal concept for defining data security goals. So the correct choice is security objectives because it represents the overarching aims that security measures strive to accomplish.
