Write a 15- to 20-page research paper on a subject of your choosing within the framework of Cybersecurity Infrastructure, including areas of interest, breaking news, technology, or other related topics. After you've selected a topic,  submit your idea with an abstract to the instructor for approval.

Your paper must:

· Conform to APA form and style and use APA citations

· Utilize at least five valid, scholarly sources

· Include at least fifteen (15) pages of "real" content, but no more than twenty (20) pages. Glossaries or other supporting data should be placed in an appendix.

Be sure your paper is overwhelmingly your original work, not quoted or paraphrased. Be sure to properly cite quoted, derived or paraphrased works.

 The topic needs to be linked to the discipline of cybersecurity (which is very broad). 2. It should be related to one of the 16 CI Sectors or the larger aspect of cyber such as policy, politics, nation-state issues, etc. See the link from DHS for a review of each. http://www.dhs.gov/critical-infrastructure-sectors (Links to an external site.) 3. You should pick a topic that interests you and you want to learn more about. Often students pick CI sectors they may work in such as finance or logistics. Doing that may give you more motive, and enable you to use some of your own background and skills from that particular sector as you apply the issues of cybersecurity to it. 4. Be careful not to be too broad because it will frustrate you as you attempt to focus on the issues. 5. Focus on the cybersecurity issues on that particular topic and/or CI sector. If you are choosing something like policy, then you would evaluate current policies as they apply, the gaps, issues, vulnerabilities within that sector, and then analyze what needs to be done to improve the cyber profile from a risk management and improved security aspect.
