Course Objective: Analyze the challenges of managing human aspects of cybersecurity, with an emphasis on employees and the insider threat.
Choose an organization (GOOGLE) and discuss the effects on the company due to past incidents of cyber crime or cyber espionage.
First describe the mission of the organization, as found on their web site. Discuss how the organization has been targeted in the recent past for cyberattack(s), as reported in news or journal articles. Describe the suspected threat actors. 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. Describe regulatory requirements and describe possible liability issues that may be related to these cyberattacks. How should cyber policy controls be adjusted for the organization to reduce vulnerabilities and prevent disruption or theft due to possible future attacks?
