Scenario: You have just been appointed as the Chief Technology and Digital Innovation Officer (CTO) in the City of New Cumberland (See “City of New Cumberland Organizational Structure” diagram). In the recent months, several team members from the Incident response team, research and development, and the IT team manager were fired due to their alleged involvement with cyber incidents.

provide an analysis of potential threats and vulnerabilities,
summarize your organization revisions and provide key areas of focus for your current and future employees.
