The Three Dimensions of the Cybersecurity Cube
Posted by Illya Golovatenko Dec 13,2018 9:39 AM
The Cybersecurity Cube (also called the McCumber Cube) is a tool developed by John McCumber, one of the early cybersecurity experts, in order to help manage the protection of networks, domains, and the Internet. The Cybersecurity Cube has three dimensions and looks somewhat like a Rubik’s Cube.
The first dimension of the Cybersecurity Cube includes the three principles of information security. The second dimension identifies the three states of information or data. The third dimension of the cube identifies the expertise required to provide protection. These are often called the three categories of cybersecurity safeguards.
The figure below is a cube with three labeled sides to show the three foundational principles: Information States, Critical Information Characteristics, and Security Measures. Information states include Transmission, storage, and processing. Critical Information Characteristics include confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Security Measures include technology, policies and practice, and the education, training, and awareness of people.
