Answer Description

Integrity refers to the accuracy and reliability of data. When the IT administrator overwrote the configuration files, it led to incorrect data being presented, thus compromising data integrity. Confidentiality involves protecting information from unauthorized access, which is not the issue here. Availability ensures that systems and data are accessible when needed, but the systems are still operational. Authentication relates to verifying the identity of users or systems, which is not impacted in this scenario.
