Cyber Security Innovation Project: Investment Prospectus & Analysis

This assignment presents a student's investment prospectus for a cyber security innovation project. The project aims to address the growing challenges of cyber security in the digital age, focusing on data protection, intrusion detection, and securing online organizational assets. The prospectus outlines the project's background, identifying the need for enhanced cyber security measures due to increasing cyber threats. It proposes a cybercrime protection strategy, data encryption, and an advanced intrusion detection system. The document details the required investment funds, estimated costs, and the resources needed, including human resources, equipment, time, and money. The project's success will be measured by increased team engagement and a reduction in cyber security attacks. The prospectus targets both philanthropists and government funders due to their financial stability. The document emphasizes the importance of effective communication with investors and the social value of the project in protecting data and preventing unauthorized access. The student provides references to support the project's rationale and approach.

Investment Prospectus
Background: Investment prospectus can be defined as the type of a
formal document which is very much helpful for the investors to make
more informed decision (Li and Miao 2019). The notable determination of
this assignment is to focus on the different ways which are required to
resource a project. The effectiveness of both public as well as private
investment techniques shall be evaluated in this assignment. Thus, the
potential investors for an innovation project shall be identified in this
assignment. The significance of maintaining effective communication procedure for the investors of the innovation project
shall also be highlighted in this assignment. There are different categories of investors who work on innovation projects such
as the banks, peer to peer lenders, venture capitalists, personal investors and government officials. Communication between
each of the stakeholders of the innovation project is very much required in order to remove any sort of discrepancies for the
investors of the innovation project. The role of the innovator is very much important to attract the potential investors of the
project. The scope as well as the deliverables of the project must be clear to both the investors as well as the innovators.
Most of the innovation projects go through lots of breakthroughs which can also be managed in the first place by effective
communication process (Ke and Sieracki 2019).
Type of investors: Thus, this project is looking forward to get investments from both the philanthropists and the government
funders as each them are more financial stable than the other investors as huge amount of capital is required in each of the
stages of this project. This project can set new standards for the numerous organizations that are looking to secure their
online organizational assets from the cyber criminals.
Issue: The recent developments in the field of IT has led to the development of numerous new technologies, however there
are numerous drawbacks associated with the IT innovations also (Shackelford 2016). Cyber security is one of the most
trending topics in the recent times as the growth and development of global commercial organization as well as the
development of our society depends hugely on the management of these cyber security issues. Thus, the identification of the
measures to secure our system from the cyber security threats has numerous social implications. Cyber security is important
for every section of the society these days due to the huge amount of online transactions ( Walasek and Barszcz 2017).
Personal details as well as money are the prime targets of the social engineers. Thus, it can be said that this is one of the most
challenging innovation project which can benefit both our society as well as the global corporate establishments.
Proposal: Cybercrime protection strategy can be very much useful to protect the data which are often compromised by the
social engineers. The other reliable way to protect the online organizational assets is the deployment of the data encryption
strategy. The introduction of an advanced intrusion detection system in a business environment can be very much useful to
protect the online transactions. The type of investment which is required in this project is investment funds. It can be said
that there are numerous costs associated with this innovative right from the start of the project to the final phase (An, Quercia
and Crowcroft 2014).
Cost: This innovative project is estimated to be completed within a period of 18 months and budget of $1000 is required in
this project.
Resources: Different categories of resources shall be required in this project such as the human resources, equipment, time
and money. Each of these resources has to be managed in a planned approach. The return on investment of this innovative
project can be broadly classified in to two categories, one is the financial return which can be very much beneficial for the
investors and the other is social return which will save an entity from the different categories of cyber security threats.
Value of the project: The impact of this project is entirely based on the short term agreements between each of the
stakeholders, as the cyber criminals are introducing new techniques in each of the attacks (Filatotchev and Dotsenko 2015).
Huge social value can be obtained after the introduction of the intrusion detection system, at the same time it can also be said
that the human resources can also be financially benefitted from this innovative project.
Measure of Success: Increased engagement of each of the project team members and reduction in the cyber security attacks
are the two success factors of this project.
