The Department of Homeland Security

Choose three organizations generally in the same industry (three businesses – large or small, or three government agencies, or three non-profit organizations) and discuss the effects on each company due to past incidents of cyber crime or cyber espionage. First describe the mission of each organization, as found on their web site. Discuss how each organization has been targeted in the recent past for cyberattack(s), as reported in news or journal articles. Describe the suspected threat actors. Discuss possible effects of culture that may have influenced these threat actors – possible effects of poverty, religion, poor local law enforcement, or tradition and ethical values. Describe regulatory requirements and describe possible liability issues that may be related to these cyberattacks. How should cyber policy controls be adjusted for each organization to reduce vulnerabilities and prevent disruption or theft due to possible future attacks? Describe trade-offs associated with your policy control recommendations and explain how these might affect the stated mission of each organization.

I have chosen DHS. So I need this paper only for DHS instead of 3 separate industries.
