_____ consists of measures taken and controls that ensure confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information system assets including hardware, software, firmware, and information being processed stored, and communicated.

• A. Information Security (INFOsec)
• B. Computer Security (Compusec)
• C. Emissions Security (Emsec)
• D. Operations Security (OPSEC)

Answer: (B)

Protecting information system assets with the CIA triad is the core idea here. Computer Security directly targets safeguarding the components of a computer system—hardware, software, firmware—and the information they process, store, and transmit. The measures and controls described are the practical means to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of those assets, across all stages of their lifecycle and all modes of communication.

Emissions Security focuses on preventing interception of information via unintended radiated signals, which is a narrower aspect. Operations Security concentrates on protecting the execution of operations and sensitive processes, not the full scope of information system assets. Information Security is a broader umbrella that includes policy, risk management, and governance, but the phrasing specifically about assets and the CIA triad aligns most directly with Computer Security.
