Availability:

Ensures that data and systems are accessible to authorized users when needed, and protected from interruptionss or attacks.

Example: Using redundant systems or backup servers to ensure that critical applications remain accessible during a hardware failure

Conclusion:

These three terms confidentiality, integrity and availability are most important in computer security. These terms are the base for the computer security. It helps us to remain secure from cyberthreats and cyberattacks. Also learn about cyber attack index.
