Case Study Discussion

  Describe the security breach experienced by Sunnylake. Why do you think this breach occurred? What would you have done to prevent it?

  What do you think Sunnylake should do now? Would you make the same recommendation to your manager if all of your office was locked out of its computer systems?

  What was the underlying cause of the collapse of the CareGroup system?

  Does the reason a network fails change the nature of the response? For example, in what ways is Sunnylake’s response helped or hindered by receiving a ransom notice? Do you think CareGroup would have reaction differently if they had coincidently received a threatening message?
