Your objective is to point out why cybersecurity is important, but more importantly, demonstrate your understanding of the 4 phase model that was used for the discussion board. Take advantage of the collective wisdom of the class as presented on the discussion board to inform your paper.

The paper should be written for your CEO, an executive who is not a technical or cyber specialist and is also not an attorney. Make your arguments persuasive, but realistic in terms of what you're recommending relative to the resources that would be required. Making recommendations which are clearly impractical is not encouraged.

Please use properly formatted citations (APA) to reference information from our assigned readings, or from your own online research.

As with all of the assignments for this course, there is an expectation that you can express yourself effectively in writing. Put another way, spelling and grammar count. Feel free to use spell-checkers and/or grammar-checking tools.

For this and all assignments in this course, you should be aware that our expectation is that you will expend considerable time and do research in connection with the assignment. We expect you to present arguments that are backed up by citations, which can be in the form of footnotes or endnotes at your choice. A bibliography/Reading List isn't enough. You need to demonstrate how your references tie into your arguments. Note that all references should be in the required APA format. In summary, the work you submit should provide evidence of the time you spent and the effort that you expended in preparing your submission.
