During this quarter we will use a fictitious company called TechWorx.   Your boss is the CEO, Mr. Mike Scott.  He does not know a lot about IT or Cybersecurity so he will rely on your recommendations and expertise.   He recently was at a meeting where the McCumber Cube came up.  He is interested in your thoughts and observations.  PLEASE include a supporting image (other than the cube below).
 We will start off the quarter by looking at the McCumber Cube.   The McCumber Cube (Cybersecurity Cube) shown in figure 1 below was developed by John McCumber in 1991 to help organizations manage the security of their enterprise.
