Prompt
Imagine you recently began working in IT,
and the head of the department, Mr. Clark, has asked you to do research to
inform future technology security products for the company. Your company
recently faced a security breach, and it is looking for new security products
to strengthen technology security.
He has asked you to write a detailed email
that identifies the three top security trends in the IT security industry. If
he likes your work on this initial research, he will ask you to write a
position paper on the most important issue related to these trends. He is
hoping to use your research to prepare your department to launch a new
strategic plan.
This is your first
real task for your new job. You think you have a sense of the industry but know
you need to do more research to be accurate in your analysis. The ability to
spot trends in your industry is an important skill, and your boss wants to
spend energy and capital on new growth areas, products, and services.
Use any other online
resource to conduct additional industry research.
Your assignment is to
produce a well-researched email in which you identify three trends in your
industry and discuss each one briefly.
