However, in this module, the emphasis is to fully understand how “businesses” need to accept this new paradigm where cyber security creates new demands on traditional corporate structures and the financial as well as the reputational impact when cyber breaches occur.
The multiple readings from this module help reinforce the mix of leadership and management with the third leg – new personnel needs to address cyber security.
For this module’s assignment, you will produce a formal white paper directed to your CIO, approximately 3-5 pages in APA format, that compares and contrasts the three options for staffing a cyber security department:
- In-house IT staff that must be trained and maintained
- A hybrid model where most of the IT functionality is outsourced while a skeletal in-house IT staff is maintained
- Fully outsourced IT functionality
Your paper should also briefly highlight the security issues associated with a hybrid or fully outsourced model. Format your paper according to APA requirements and include at least three (3) substantial references. Be sure to include a title page along with your Reference page. Refer to the APA Resources link on the left-hand navigation for APA style guide resources.
