The CIA Triad confidentiality, integrity and availability is considered the core underpinning of information security. For a security program to be considered comprehensive and complete, it must adequately address the entire CIA Triad. Confidentiality means that data, objects and resources are protected from unauthorized viewing and other access. Integrity means that data is protected from unauthorized changes to ensure that it is reliable and correct. Availability means that authorized users have access to the systems and the resources they need. The CIA Triad is essential in cybersecurity as it provides vital security features, helps in avoiding compliance issues, ensures business continuity, and prevents reputational damage to the organization.
Collier et al. 2008, page 26). Grievances, on the other hand, consider as a good motivation of conflict the lack of education, the low economic growth, inequality, and ethnic grievances, not between ethnic groups but in the inter-state relationship, among others. If we analyse the concept of education, it plays as a double-face proxy factor. According to the ‘greed theory’ creators, they consider indicators of opportunity for self-financing rebellion like dependence and theft of natural resources, diaspora donations, subsidy from hostile governments, proportion of young males in the society and the average years of schooling, among others (Collier and Hoeffler, 2001, pages 3-6). Based on this premise, the economic factors along with the degree of dependency of natural resources will show the relevance of greed among the grievance in security analysis. It is worth to remark that people’s grievances are likely to be tangible but never strong enough to stand by their own against lucrative opportunities when presented (Beswick and Jackson, 2015).
Following very closely with proxy measures, the dynamics between greed and grievance can be an arguable mix as, for instance, the presence of lootable resources like diamonds, drugs, timber, etc. can be seen as a complementary incentive for grievances. “In reality the competing greed versus grievance hypotheses may, after all, be complementary explanations for conflict. Insofar as they do provide alternative views, a fair test for their relative explanatory powers is best conducted at the level of a quantitative country-case study, because cross-country comparisons of horizontal inequality are still at very early stages of development due to the lack of data” (Murshed and Tadjoeddin, 2007, page 33).
Nevertheless, debates in these processes commonly arise when the subjectivity of conflicts are put aside. Statistical measures cannot define the particularities of certain violent actions, and indeed avoids the surrounding factors. Besides, criteria taken for evaluation and assignment of conflicts through this method might be controversial. Clear examples of these methods are found at the Uppsala Conflict Database Project and the Corre
