System integrity: The state of a computer system being free from unauthorized access, tampering, or data corruption. This is a key aspect of computer security and is often ensured through the use of encryption, access controls, and backup systems. Examples of system integrity breaches include a hacker accessing sensitive data or a virus corrupting a database.
