You should include the following in your summary report:
- Summarise the breach.
  - 08:28Another tips for your summary report. That means summarize the brace. Do not go. It is just summarize a few lines.
  - 08:39What’s the name of the database when it is happen, and why it happens. This type of information summarize that at a place,
- Identify, explain and justify the vulnerability of this security breach.
  - 08:50then you can, in your report you need to identify, explain, and justify the vulnerability of the secret device.
  - 08:59So why this brace happened? What the ball nulligrate was. It is system for all it is human. For ah, what type of vulnerability you need to identify? Because ah, this dress there will be definitely something mentioned there.
  - Explain it and justify the vulnerability.
  - 09:18This is a somebody not too long and not too short, so that everyone can understand.
- Possible consequences of this security breach.
  - Then it’s going to go Possible consequence of the security price that means, uh, what happened? If the security price it is monetary loss or reproduction laws? What type of loss of this secret place either company does, or government, laws or individual laws. So this type of consequence you need to summarize in this
- Explain the control measure
  - and last is, explain the control measures.
  - 09:50When you say the control measures. That is what type of you are, what the mitigating techniques, what control they should use, so that ah, this type of data price will not happen.
  - this is the tips for this report. I don’t go too long. I think one pays, and one and a half days should be fine for this report with 500 words, or if you go more, that should be okay. As long as you’re writing, our content is linked with this area.

Task B: Research report (50 Marks)

Your task in this assessement is to write a research report

select a topic
- cybersecurity threat landscape during COVID-19
- malware as a Service (MaaS) during the COIVD-19 pandemic
- cyber-Warfare, attacks and defences in the Australian context
- ToR Network
- Crypto market and Cryptocurrencies
- Dark Web forensics
- The security impact of COVID-19 on social media
- Bay pointe security consulting (BPSC)
- CIA (code injection attack)
- Social engineering
- Data exfiltration
- Network traffic analyssi

*( your are llowed to select a different topic (not in the list) that is related to the subject but, in that case, please let your lecturer/subject coordinator know prior to your assessment)

select articles relevant to you topic (at least three journals/conference papers)
conduct a literature review

your report will consist of two parts:

Part 1: Annotated Bibliography

What is an annotated bibliography:

https://owll.massey.ac.nz/assignment-types/annotated-bilbliography.php

sample annotated bibliography:

https://owll.massey.ac.nz/sample-assignments/sample-annotated-bilbliography.php

you need to write a research report of a selected topic
10:51which are relevant to your subject. If you go to the subject site, let me open.
10:59Ah,
11:06ah! If you click the task, you will find there is a list of topics.
11:12So these are the topics
11:32that is related to subject. But in that case please let me know. Ah! Prior to your assessment, so that I can record in your name that you are working on this particular topic.
11:47Okay, So let’s come to this
11:51one.
11:53So this is the select a topic. So I hope it is clear to you. That means you first job is to select the topic.
12:03Ah, your topic within the list or outside the list. Ah, it will depend upon your ah upon you. That means, if you feel comfortable, then select from the list. If you have any topic
12:16which you feel, you are more familiar, it’s also Okay, just what you need. You need to let me know and drop an email.
12:25Ah, select articles relevant to your topics. The second.
12:31Now, your topic is selected. For example, your topic is run somewhere.
12:41Then second task, you need to select article from the literature
12:46at least three journals and or conference papers.
12:50I would always prefer the journal papers. But if you feel that journal is not available, at least conference with
12:59at least three. But if you select more that should be fine,

Marking criteria and standards

Task A :

Assessable components

Ability to apply learned concepts to real-life scenarios.

30 marks

A detailed discussion that skillfully applies and extends learned concepts to the real life scenario: For the chosen cyber security breach, the submission presented carefully identifies, discusses and justifies the artefacts of vulnerability, potential consequences and control within the scenario to form a cohesive and well integrated discussion.

A detailed discussion that applies learned concepts to the real life scenario: For the chosen cyber security breach, the submission presented carefully identifies, discusses and justifies the artefacts of vulnerability, potential consequences and control within the scenario to form a cohesive discussion.

A discussion that applies learned concepts to the real life scenario: For the chosen cyber security breach, the submission presented identifies, discusses and justifies the artefacts of vulnerability, potential consequences and control within the scenario to form a cohesive discussion. The occasional mis-application of learned concepts can be observed.

A submission that identifies, discusses and justifies the artefacts of vulnerability, potential consequences and control within the scenario often in isolation without forming a cohesive discussion. Submission is typically misapplies learned concepts.
