prepare the document with regards to the cybersecurity on how their staff can be trained the
basics of cybersecurity. The report objectives were discussing cyberscecurty and why it should
be important to the organization in all aspects. In addition, it was good to identify some of the
security vulnerabilities that ABCT was encountering and how much can be mitigated. The
investigation was based on other case scenarios with such cybersecurity issues. Some of the
vulnerabilities and emerging threats that may pose a threat to ABCT were discussed such as
Cryptojacking, Internet of Things (IoT) Device threats, Cross-site Scripting, Geopolitical Risks,
Unpatched security vulnerabilities among others.
Cybersecurity is very wide and can only be understood if all the involved parties are
considered when making the decisions in all ways. Decisions made in any organization will not
be achieved effectively with regards to the objectives of the staff at the operational level are not
