Term Project Rubric

Created Monday 19 October 2020

In this course, you will complete a cybersecurity related project of your choosing. Broadly, you will give an explanation and demonstration of how you might solve, mitigate, or otherwise address an "issue," i.e. hypothetical threat, vulnerability, crisis, or opportunity.

It must include the following:

A clear statement of the issue
Background information on the issue

An "assesment" — including:

What is the risk associated? (note: risk simply means "uncertainty" and can be positive, i.e. an opportunity)
Who are the "stakeholders"
A (summary) brainstorm of possible methods of addressing your issue as well as likely outcomes. Be sure to include "not addressing it at all"

A demonstration

Document a demonstration of a tool or methodology used in the addressing of your issue

(Note, while your work may focus heavily on a particular tool — be sure you're addressing an issue and not the tool itself, i.e. don't do the "when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" thing.)

Recommendations and conclusions regarding your issue

Medium is largely up to you. I will require the equivalent of at least 1000 words, and you may do this in e.g. the form of:
- Prose writing, likely with screenshots/slides or at least "text dumps"
- A video/screencast
- I *think* slide presentations like powerpoint could work, but you'd need to determine the best way to get large chunks of text in
