Creating unique new cultures and experiences. Everything we do, is to move you emotionally.
2) Discuss how each organization has been targeted in the recent past for cyberattack(s), as reported in news or journal articles.
3) Describe the suspected threat actors.
4) Discuss possible effects of culture that may have influenced these threat actors – possible effects of poverty, religion, poor local law enforcement, or tradition and ethical values.
5) Describe regulatory requirements and describe possible liability issues that may be related to these cyberattacks. How should cyber policy controls be adjusted for each organization to reduce vulnerabilities and prevent disruption or theft due to possible future attacks?
6) Describe trade-offs associated with your policy control recommendations and explain how these might affect the stated mission of each organization. Hint: prepare an outline based on the questions asked in this assignment. The outline is not submitted as part of the final report, but it should be used to help structure your TOC. Also, the introduction should provide a brief preview for the reader, indicating what areas your research explored. Do this for all your research papers, both the individual and the team projects.
