Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an information technology incident report.
Successful management in information technology requires knowledge of the legal and ethical environment. Globalization, increasing commerce between graphical locations brought on by the ability to connect online, and the increasing mix of cultures bring additional complexity to the considerations of law and ethics in cybersecurity and information technology (IT). The final project for this course will require you to research a recent (within the last five years) incident or event in the field of IT, e-commerce, or cyber security in the context of the legal and ethical standards of that time period. You will identify the issues the organization(s) had, recommend changes for that organization(s), and write a report that highlights your recent analysis, findings, and recommendations.
Prompt
You will select a recent or current incident from the public record that will support the creation of an information technology incident report and analyze the case to identify the issues that led to the incident. Provide rationale as to why you are interested in this topic. What recommendations can you make to ensure the incident will not occur again? What were the results of the incident? And, finally, what were the cultural, societal, or global impacts of this case and the subsequent changes to the legal environment? Please note: Your selection will need to be submitted and approved by the instructor.
What to Submit.
Your report should be one page containing all relevant information, reasoning, and research. It should be formatted logically and written in a professional manner, following APA guidelines.
