Scenario

For this final project, put yourself in the role of a security analyst who is performing an audit of your company. Your organization is a mid$-$sized

manufacturing company that released its own smart headset. The headset has the ability to project important documents on an optical screen

for the technicians in the field. The documents could be product schematics, invoices, emails, text messages, or any documents put in the

shared drive on the server. The headset has constant communication with the server that resides in the central office; the connection is made

through the technicians' cell phones via the Bluetooth connection.

Prompt

Apply your experience using threat models to describe a particular attack, and your understanding of cryptography to write a Cyber Defense

and Emerging Trends paper. Be sure to integrate feedback from the Final Project Milestone into your submission.

You must address the critical elements listed below. The codes shown in brackets indicate the competency to which each critical element is

aligned.

I. Personnel or Human Factor Trend

Select a personnel or human factor trend and discuss the following critical elements:

A$.$ Describe how the trend or strategy provides protection to an organization.

B$.$ Defend the trend as a credible solution based on your analysis of the threat model for the scenario.

C$.$ Describe the security risks and rewards associated with the trend.

D$.$ Analyze how an emerging personnel or human factor trend is affecting the cybersecurity landscape. In your response, detail the impact

this trend has on existing security strategies, technologies, or policies.

II$.$ Data Protection Strategy or Technology

Select a data protection strategy or technology and discuss the following critical elements:

A$.$ Describe how the strategy or technology provides protection to an organization.

B$.$ Defend the strategy or technology as a credible solution based on your analysis of the threat model for the scenario.
