Write a four to five-page paper describing the components necessary for a comprehensive security program for your corporate profile scenario, selected previously. The paper should include:

  1. An executive summary (introduction paragraph) and a closing statement (closing paragraph) that provide the purpose and justification for the elements presented (consider recent events, lack of awareness, loss of finances, reduced competitive advantage, proactive vs. reactive, etc.).
