The Equifax Data Breach: Impact, Recovery, and Government Initiatives

 

We have all read or heard about breaches in privacy in many corporations over the past few years.  Cybercrime is on the rise and organizations must examine and identify challenges faced in managing information about key stakeholders, including employees and customers.
Research a recent cybercrime attack on a company (within the past 5 years) and briefly discuss this event.  What was the impact on stakeholders?  How did the company recover post-attack?
What efforts are being made by national and international governments to combat cybercrime?

Using what you learned about your community and what you learned about past disasters from this course, write a case study, a minimum of four pages in length, that addresses the following points.

· Explain what has been done with regard to mitigation, recovery, and/or response efforts within your community.

· Explain who conducted these efforts and the vulnerabilities they faced in their community, and include the role these individuals or groups play with mitigating, responding, and/or recovering from the risk.

· Research at least one major, historical disaster that resulted in structural damage (this is not limited to your community). Explain the event that caused the damage and the results.

· What collaborative efforts were employed during the historical disaster you researched?

· What can your community learn from the past disaster you researched?

· Consider the legal issues that would apply to those who did not follow land-use or building code requirements. When researching the mitigation and or structure protection occurring in your area or the location you choose, also discuss the organizations that would be involved with ensuring compliance as well as what sanctions would apply for those who were out of compliance.
