In this episode, Kip and Jason discuss everything that makes the A in the CIA Triad, Availability.
Availability is when you like to use a system and it's there ready for you to use, because no matter how secure a system is, if you cannot access it when you need to, it serves no purpose.
Kip explains how the way you think about availability is also going to change depending on the industry you're in and the niche you interact with the most.
Jason mentions some terms associated with availability in certification exams like redundancy, failover, business continuity, and disaster recovery, highlighting that availability is not an all or nothing pillar, because you can't always have 100% redundancy.
For the third time, Jason and Kip go over some interview questions on availability to make sure you are a little more prepared for your interviews.
