Security breaches are a reality of the hyperconnected world in which we live. Often it is not so much the breach itself that is the problem but how the organization's IT and leadership respond to it and mitigate against future attacks that makes all the difference. Some companies have lost reputation or significant market share as a result, others have closed down entirely, while some have risen resilient with a strategic approach to such challenges and quickly regain their users' trust. In this real-world learning activity, you will assume a hypothetical role in a fictional (but plausible) information systems department at a large technology company that recently learned of a security breach. Although your team took corrective action already, your management has asked you to make an executive summary report about the incident.
