confidentiality
integrity
availability
non-repudiation

Recommend technologies, processes, and policies that can be used to solve or mitigate one of the following common information security threats (risks):

denial-of-service (DOS) attacks
insider theft of intellectual property
deliberate corruption of electronic files (hacker attack or malicious insider) including virus/worm infections
