The Cube is a framework that addresses various elements of information assurance, specifically focusing on the relationship between confidentiality, integrity, availability, and other factors that affect information security.

Step-by-step explanation:

The McCumber Cube is a model used to guide the systematic examination of information assurance (IA).
