Assignment: Cybersecurity and Privacy

• Your CEO has become increasingly concerned with the cybersecurity and privacy issues and incidents over the past few years, including lost laptops, data leakage incidents, stolen PII from major companies, such as Sony Playstation, wireless network vulnerabilities, remote access issues, and others.
