For this assignment, you will categorize the content in open sources  such as MITRE ATT&CK and its implications plus options & their  “Groups,” the Verizon DBIR, CISCO Cyberthreat reports, Cisco Talos,  Crowdstrike, DHS’s CISA advisories, and other leading quality Internet  sources. Add peer-reviewed research literature to select current  insights published within the last 2 years.

In your assignment, be sure to address the following:

  • Combine your selection of known global threat sources, objectives,  and capabilities to form a reasonable baseline of concerns for one  specified organization that has no less than 10,000 employees or has a  financial budget exceeding $1 billion.
  • Identify the critical industry for the organization.
  • Avoid the assumption that one should focus on a few recent cyber incidents or tactics.
  • Pursue the value at risk for the organization, not popular conceptions.

A formal paper is suitable for delivery to the CIO and CISO and their  teams of your specified organization. You should act as a consultant  (internal or external to the organization) in formulating your response.  Add no less than one table beyond the narrative content provided above.
