M8A2 Short Paper: Challenges Related to Cybersecurity

This activity will address module outcome 1. Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

• Discuss the future challenges related to AI, automated cybersecurity and the Internet of Things (IoT). (CO 4, 5, 7)

You have done a lot of work to complete this program and have explored different areas related to cybersecurity. Think about some of the challenges related to cybersecurity that resonated most with you.

• Did one topic stick out most to you?
• Gaps in leadership?
• Problems related to encryption?
• Tensions between privacy and security or tensions between efficiency and security (as often seen in the healthcare industry)?

Select one topic that stood out (but not the one that you wrote about in your final paper) and submit a short paper.

Your paper should address the following:

• Think about a topic related to cybersecurity that interested you from one of the modules, but not the one that you discussed in your final paper.
• Discuss why you are particularly interested in this topic.
• Explore some of the current and potential future challenges related to the topic you chose. Offer some suggestions for improvement in the area that you selected.
• How can you continue to apply what you have learned to address some of these future issues?

The paper should be 3 to 4 pages long. Use the American Psychological Association (APA) style (most current edition) for writing your assignment. You must use appropriate sources (properly cited) to support your position. Simply answering the questions that are part of the case is not enough. Provide thoughtful, well-supported analysis. You should also draw on other references if necessary to support your work.
