Describe the McCumber Cube approach to privacy.
What will be an ideal response?
The National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Committee (NSTISSC) security model, also known as the McCumber Cube (See Figure 16.1) provides a more detailed perspective on security.
The McCumber Cube provides a graphical representation of the architectural approach widely used in information security. It examines not only the characteristics of the information to be protected but also the context of the information state. The cube allows an analyst to identify the information flows within an HRIS, view it for important security-relevant factors, and then map the findings to the cube. The cube has three dimensions. If extrapolated, the three dimensions of each axis become a 3 × 3 × 3 cube, with 27 cells representing areas that must be addressed to secure a modern-day information system.
