Task 1: 200-250 words with references per section: Sections should have heading separations
When firms become prime targets for hackers, the attack themselves become front-page news. Financial and personal data have been compromised despite firms having measures in place. You will review three firms (only firm must be the Solar Winds breach) where a successful attack was made on their systems by hackers. In terms of the second & third firms, you are free to select a breach/attack that occurred within the last three years. Do not use the Home Depot, Target, or any breach that occurred more than five years ago as your one of your firms
Paper Layout
• Section I (Facts of Case #1): You will describe what happened; when the breach occurred; and how did the firm respond to the breach/attack. Also, you will identify and discuss how consumers reacted to the breach/attack. Finally, assess how much responsibility should lie with the firm per this breach/attack.
• Section II (Facts of Case #2): You will describe what happened; when the breach occurred; and how did the firm respond to the breach/attack. Also, you will identify and discuss how consumers reacted to the breach/attack. Finally, assess how much responsibility should lie with the firm per this breach/attack.
• Section III (Solar Winds): You will describe what happened and how did the firm respond to the breach/attack. Also, you will identify and discuss how the customers of Solar Winds reacted to the breach/attack. Finally, assess how much responsibility should lie with the firm per this breach/attack.
• Section IV (Prevention): Identify and discuss at least three measures firms must take to limit/prevent breaches and attacks from happening. One of your preventive measures must be a technology-based measure, such as robotic processing automation (RPA), blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), or data analytics would have prevented/limited the impact of data breaches.
• Section V (Role of the Government & Others): In this section, discuss the role that the Federal Government and large associations (e.g., ISACA, AICAP, IIA) should play regarding preventing/limiting breaches. Be sure to speak about the Government first and then pick an association to discuss.
• Section VI (Lessons Learned - OPM Data Breach): Do some research on the OPM data breach and discuss what we did not learn from this high-profile breach.
