Content:
========
Remember, this course is focused on how to manage a crisis using systematic InfoSec approach and I’d like you to make sure you align your paper toward our course objectives like:
* crisis management
* contingency planning
* BIA
* DR
* Incident Response
* Risk Management
My expectations are:
1. An abstract
2. Body of paper with strong alignment to course objectives (you can break out your paper into sections with titles matching course objectives)
3. Conclusion that includes high level “take aways” from this study
4. I will particularly look for how you:
define the problem/situation;
present data points (facts and conclusions from other published material);
propose solution/approach to deal with problem/situation
Strong references to facts based on published material is encouraged. But filling your paper entirely with other published work is discouraged.
What I don’t want to see:
* Too much focus on methods of attacks; disaster or incident details itself (unless relevant to your point)
* politics of situation – this is not a political science class
