Enabling encryption for cloud-based virtual machine hard disks applies to the term confidentiality.

Confidentiality refers to protecting data from unauthorized disclosure or access. Encryption is a security mechanism that uses algorithms to encode data in such a way that only authorized parties with the correct key can access the original data.

By encrypting virtual machine hard disks, the data stored on them is protected from unauthorized access and disclosure, ensuring its confidentiality.
