ABSTRACT
Ours is a connected world, and a dependent world. The condition and livelihood of any organization is
dependent on the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of information obtained from or protected
from other sources. Today, organizations are at greater risk and their security stance against malicious
actors, in the form of individuals, criminal cartels, terrorists, or nation-states, will affect the well-being of
many persons, other companies, and perhaps the nation. These organizations often depend upon
cyberspace-hundreds of millions of interconnected computers, servers, routers, switches, and fiber-
optic cables that allow our critical infrastructures to work.
