Executive Summary (one page summary at the beginning of
your Acquisition Report)2. Executive Briefing Slides (3 to 5
slides) 1. Cybersecurity For A Successful Acquisition Report:
(12 page min) w/ Executive Summary Conduct a Policy Gap
AnalysisExecutive summary: This is a one-page summary at the
beginning of your report.Are companies going through an M&A
prone to more attacks or more focused attacks?If so, what is the
appropriate course of action?Should the M&A activities be kept
confidential?explain to the executives that before any systems
are integrated, their security policies will need to be
reviewedConduct a policy gap analysis to ensure the target
company's security policies follow relevant industry standards
as well as local, state, and national laws and regulations.
Identify what, if any, laws and regulations the target company is
subject to.How would you identify the differences?How would
you learn about the relevant laws and regulations?How would
you ensure compliance with those laws and regulations?Use PCI
standards to identify a secure strategy, and operating system
protections to protect the credit card dataSelect at least two
appropriate requirements from the PCI Standards DSS 12 set of
requirements and explain how the controls should be
implemented, how they will change the current network, and
any costs associated with implementing the change.Review
Protocols for Streaming Servicesreview the protocols, explain
how they work along with any known vulnerabilities, and how
to secure the company from cyberattacks. Identify what
streaming the companies are doing and the specific technology
they are leveraging.What are the technical vulnerabilities
associated with the protocols involved?Have those been
mitigated? And to what extent (i.e., has the risk been reduced to
zero, reduced somewhat, shifted to a third party, etc.)?What

residual risk to the target company's assets and IP
remain?Would those risks extend to the current (takeover)
company after the merger?
a. Would that be bad enough to cancel the M&A?If the response
to #5 is yes, then, what should the target company do to further
mitigate the risk? How should the takeover company mitigate
the risk?What are the costs associated to the target company
(implementing the appropriate mitigation)? If the takeover firm
has to take additional measures, identify those costs as
well.Assess the Merged Network InfrastructureExplain what
tactics, techniques, and procedures you would use to understand
the network. identify firewalls, DMZ(s), other network systems,

5) Write a function called fact which takes in a paramenter �
and returns �!
Please use a for loop, do not copy the example on the MATLAB
help guide
e.g. fact(5) should return 5! = 120
Advanced
1) Write a function my_trace to compute the trace of a matrix
2) Write a function my_sum to sum all the elements of a matrix
3) Write a function sum_rows to sum all the rows of a matrix,
note this should return back a row vector
4) Write a function to sum_cols sum the columns of a matrix,
note this should return back a column vector

5) Combine the functions in 3 and 4 into 1 function
sum_row_or_cols which takes an additional parameter
that let’s you choose to sum either columns or rows. 1 should
sum over columns, 2 should sum over rows.
i.e. you should call sum_row_or_cols(A,1) or
sum_row_or_cols(A,2)

We are merely looking to get an idea of the topic, we are not
studying
this rigorously! For a proper introduction there are plenty of
online
resources or textbooks.
You will also see these throughout the course in more detail.
We just want an idea so that we can compare a numerical
method that
we are going to learn.
