Why do a case study? – Your success will primarily come from being able to apply your knowledge and skills to particular situations and problem solving.

Logistics of the Case Study

• Paper One(1)

• In the first paper you will research the organization (introduce the organization, its mission, organizational structure and mission critical systems), and analyze the breach (what happened, how, and why), and the financial damage. You will upload a draft two weeks before the final version is due in the appropriate Blackboard Discussion folder for your Group. You will review peer and instructor comments and incorporate revisions as appropriate for your final version which will be graded. You will upload the final version in the appropriate Blackboard Main Discussion area forum so everyone in the class can learn from your research. Length of paper: 1,500 word minimum (8 pages doubled spaced, not including images, charts, etc). There is no penalty for longer papers.
