Cybersecurity individual project

Because of the difficulty with doing a group project this semester, I am substituting an individual project,
instead.

This project will be graded pass/fail. Pass will be given 100% of the available points.

Fail will be given 0% of the available points.

To pass, I need to see a sincere effort.

The project is this: copy and paste the questions below into a new Word Document. Answer each
question, briefly. Save the word document and submit it to the “individual project” space in the
assignments tab on blackboard.

Use the textbook as a primary source. However, feel free to use the internet to look up other
information if the textbook is not sufficiently clear. You may also reference the slides for Security, but
the internet may be a better resource.

Questions follow. (Copy all after this line):

everyone else should be disallowed from learning anything about its contents. This is the essence of

information resources?

14. What are some physical security measures that can be implemented?

15. What type of policy lays out the guidelines for employee use of the information resources of the
company and provides the company recourse in the case that an employee violates a policy?

16. Name some things you can do as an individual to protect your information security?

17.Should you trust an e-mail from your bank requesting you to click on a link to see an important
