CYB 200 Project One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Establishing a proac�ve security culture in an organiza�on is key to limi�ng security risks and limi�ng the dangers of complacency within the organiza�on. This proac�ve security mindset is
important to establish from the top of the organiza�on down. Security awareness training is the first line of defense and is a founda�onal component of any well-rounded cybersecurity
ini�a�ve. If the personnel are not ac�vely aware, your cybersecurity defense structure can fall apart regardless of how much you invest in technology.
For this project, you will answer ques�ons related to a security awareness training case study. This project pulls concepts together from your case study papers and course discussions, and it
serves as the founda�on for why integra�ng legal and human factors into a security awareness training program is important. Refer to your module readings and resources for extra help.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course competency:
Describe the fundamental concepts of legal and human factors in regard to cybersecurity
