Week 2
McCumber Cube to Model Network Defense.
This week we focused on McCumber Cube model for Information Security (InfoSec). InfoSec is referred as the protection of information and its critical characteristics: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. McCumber Cube is a three-dimensional view of information characteristics, information location, and security control categories designed serves as the many standards of InfoSec with the extended version of core characteristics: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The three dimension of McCumber Cube model represents information characteristics, information location, and information security. Furthermore, the cube represents 3x3x3 with 27 cells wits its subdivision as shown in figure

The basic concept of this three-dimensional is to address to secure information and to achieve desired security goals of the InfoSec each cell must be addressed.
This graphical representation of security model helps to understand the most Complex issue as well as provides deeper understanding of the relationships of each component and way to model risk management. Each view of the cube represents different perspective such as information characteristics which addresses three fundamental aspects processing, storage, and transmission: information location which addresses technology, people, and policies and practices: whereas security control addresses confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
