Availability

One of the three pillars of the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) security triad. Availability ensures that network services are accessible to authorized users when needed. Network availability is often measured by uptime percentages (e.g., 99.999% "five nines").

Availability in context

To place Availability in the wider telecom-security picture, review Patch Management, ACL, A5/2, AMF, Anomaly Detection and APT.
