The purpose of this assignment is to enhance your understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals by critically analyzing a real-world cybersecurity incident. This will require you to investigate and evaluate the incident, identify the security vulnerabilities exploited, and propose preventive measures to mitigate similar incidents in the future.

Instructions
1. Select a Recent Cybersecurity Incident:
Choose a cybersecurity incident that has occurred within the last two years (i.e., 2022 and 2023). You can refer to reputable cybersecurity news sources, incident databases, or official reports.
2. Provide a Detailed Overview:
Summarize the chosen incident, including the nature of the attack, the target, and the impact on the affected organization or individuals. Include details such as the attack vector, malware involved (if any), and the overall timeline of the incident.
3. Analyze the Security Vulnerabilities:
Identify and analyze the security vulnerabilities that were exploited in the incident. Discuss the weaknesses in the organization’s cybersecurity posture that allowed the attack to occur. Consider factors such as weak passwords, lack of security awareness, outdated software, or inadequate network defences.
4. Evaluate Incident Response:
Evaluate the incident response efforts undertaken by the affected organization. Discuss the effectiveness of their response plan and highlight any shortcomings in their incident response that could be improved.
5. Propose Preventive Measures:
Based on your analysis, propose specific preventive technological solutions that could have mitigated or prevented the incident.
6. Conclusion:
Summarize your findings and conclude the assignment by emphasizing the broader lessons and implications for cybersecurity practices. Reflect on how the incident contributes to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats and the importance of continuous improvement in cybersecurity strategies.
Submission Guidelines:
The assignment should be submitted as a well-organized, typed PDF document (800-900 words) + Standard University Declaration of Originality Form (Link, Signed). Plagiarism and GPT are not allowed.
Use appropriate citations for any external sources or references to support your statements and discussions.
Ensure clarity, coherence, and proper grammar in your writing.
