case study

Your assignment for this week is to begin work on your first paper.
Choose a real world network security breach, and perform a case study. Within this study, analyze the method the attackers used to gain access through the network security layers, and the actions the attackers took once the network was penetrated. The choice of incident is completely up to you, but please keep in mind that it should reflect actual network penetration and require research on your part. Please keep in mind that in many situations, details of the attack may not have been revealed due to our culture of corporate secrecy and/or pending litigation, so please choose a case wisely.
Within this case study, please include the attacking methods, the security failures, and a review of the corporate response. Additionally, please indicate a suggested correction to both the network defenses and any improvements that the company could have made.Write a research paper not to exceed 3000 words, double-spaced, excluding the title page and works cited section.  All references must be from authentic, established and reliable sources (sites like Wikipedia will not be accepted).  This assignment must contain a minimum of 5 resources.  Each assignment must adhere to the standards set forth in the APA guidelines.  The submission must be in Microsoft Word format.
