I have always been under the impression that the security triad was
CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) until I came across

May be this is pretty late to discuss about this question as this
article was posted in 2003. Nevertheless, just wanted to check with
all the security folks out there if the new security TRIAD is indeed
CPP (Cyber, Physical and People).

CIA and CPP are entirely unrelated to each other, because they are
different views on security. CIA focuses on the data, whereas CPP
focuses on the attack plane (which is why I would rather call it TPS -
Technological, Physical, Social).
