This module featured an interview with Laura Guitar, from rbb Advisory. Ms. Guitar is a frontline professional who assists organizations and individuals with responding to cyber incidents across the gamut. Please watch the interview with Ms. Guitar and discuss the following:

1. Guitar shared data on the changing landscape of data breaches and cybercrime. What are your thoughts on each of the following?
   1. The prevalence of data breaches incurred by Fortune 1000 companies;
   2. The cost of cybercrime to the global economy;
   3. The average costs of a data breach in 2021 versus 2020; and
   4. The prevalence of data breach incidents experienced by individuals in the United States.
2. Guitar also discussed the Equifax data breach.
3. 1. Please identify at least 3 of the decisions made by Equifax that resulted in the unfortunate outcomes of the data breach, and, based on what we've learned in this course and this module's materials, how could they have been avoided? (Your response to this answer should rely on and cite to at least 2 of the Module's Reading Assignments, in addition to the interview of Ms. Guitar).
   2. As it relates to the fall out, provide your opinion on which 3 of the outcomes you believe would provide the greatest deterrent against future information security failures by Equifax and other organizations. (Or, put differently, in your opinion, which of the punishments (i.e., lawsuits, stock decline, arrests, government settlements, etc.) provides the greatest incentive for Equifax to do better.)
