The breach
Analyze the data breach involving an AIS and create an 8-10 slide presentation that effectively communicates the following:
Summarize relevant aspects of the case to effectively reveal the nature of the data breach and fraud. Consider areas such as perpetrators, victims, compromised systems, type of intrusion, outcomes, et cetera.
Describe 3 conditions that likely contributed to the breach. You might consider areas such as human error, process, control, physical security, et cetera related to AIS-specific components or operations. Note, If you need to speculate on potential causes, you must support your analysis with realistic suppositions if information is unavailable.
Justify your recommendation of 3 AIS-related controls or processes that would likely mitigate your identified conditions.
Cite at least 3 credible and relevant resources to support your recommendation.
