II. Essay.

Provide short but substantive/concise answer to the following questions:

1) Enumerate the Four (4) Cyber Security Domains as provided

by Debra Herrmann, Complete Guide to Security and
Privacy Metrics and by your own words discuss each of
them (25 points)
JOSE MARIA COLLEGE Foundation Inc.

According to Debra Herman, there are 4 cyber security

domains: the physical security, personnel security, IT
security, and operational security.

Physical security- is the protection of hardware, software and

data from physical threats to avoid losing asset and
disruptions to operations.

Personnel Security- a cyber protection to decrease the

likelihood and impact of accidental and intentional alteration
or exploitation of their legitimate access to organization’s
facilities, assets, systems or people for illicit gain or to cause
harm.

IT Security- A cybersecurity that helps prevent the

undesirable impact of malicious threats and potential
security breaches such as ransomware, spyware and
viruses. It helps maintain integrity and confidentiality of
sensitive information.

Operational Security- A cybersecurity that prevents

confidential information to fall into wrong hands. It avoids the
likeliness of accidental or unintentional theft, release,
destruction, misuse and sabotage of system resources
throughs securing the system state at all times.
