Research Paper

Identify a current digital threat against at least one national critical infrastructure sector and research it. For example, you may decide to pick healthcare as the critical infrastructure sector and ransomware as the threat. A successful paper will have definitions of the affected sector and threat. An explanation of how the threat can affect the sector. In my example, a ransomware attack against a hospital can shut it down for several days. What effect on people will it have? Limited or no local access to healthcare services. A section covering remediation options. A section covering prophylactic protections that should have been in place to defend against this type of attack. List a few examples of attacks from the media and the outcomes. Then write up a conclusion that ties all this together.

The structure of your paper should be about four to five pages, not including the title, abstract, and reference pages. That’s four to five pages of content. Your submission must be in full APA 7th Edition format.

• Abstract
• Body (4-5 pages)
  • Introduction
  • Literature Review with appropriate citation
  • Discussion
