Digital Business: Cyber Security
Coursework Title/ Brief

• provide a synopsis to the chosen area providing background and academic underpinning outlining why findings from this research would be potentially useful
• choose and clarify an appropriate method of measuring the chosen phenomena.
This will be presented in the form of a poster (digital) with a word count of 1000–1500, including text and graphics as appropriate. This is presented in the form of a research proposal outlining a workable piece of research and how this would be achieved. An approach to the primary research is to be outlined but not undertaken. All references can be on a second separate page, giving you a total of 2 pages – the word count only includes what is on the first page. Please save on either PowerPoint or as a Pdf before uploading to Moodle.
