Cybersecurity research paper.

The Sony Hack case study: conduct further research to engage with the nuances of the case and to enforce your reasoning. Address the following points in your analysis:Identify the threat Sony faced in the 2014 hack and explain their      motives. Explain whether or not you think the aspects of Sony’s sector      made it vulnerable to the threat you have identified.Offer an explanation of the methods of attack the threat actor      employed to breach its cybersecurity and justify your reasoning.Describe a scenario of what method of      attack at least one other type of threat actor could use in the future,      and why.Your answer should be between 400 and 500 words.This ongoing project submission will be graded according to the following rubric:Very poorPoorSatisfactoryVery goodExceptionalAdherence to briefStudent has detailed:- why or why not the organization’s sector makes it vulnerable.- the relevant threats to the organization (between two and three for   their own organization, and the correct threat and a potential threat for   Sony)- associated methods of cyberattackAnswer falls within the prescribed word count (400-500 words)No submission, or student fails to address any element of the brief.   (0)Some key   elements are not addressed. Most information provided is irrelevant.ORAnswer does not fall within the prescribed word count (100 words over   word count). (5.5)Student has adhered to most of the brief. Sufficient information is   provided and is mostly relevant. (7)Student has adhered to almost all elements of the brief. Almost all   information is provided and is relevant. (8.5)Student has fully adhered to the brief. All information provided is   comprehensive and relevant. (10)Insight into organization’s sectorStudent has   justified how (or why not) the threat actors relate to the organization’s   sector.No submission, or student fails to demonstrate even basic   understanding of how the threat actors relate (or do not relate) to the   organization’s sector.
