MN623 Cyber Security and Analytics

Assignment Description

The assignment has two parts.

Part I: Group Report

Part II: Video Demonstration

Submission Guidelines:

• Write a group report on the topics listed in Part A, Part B and Part
• Make a group video demonstration of one cyber security tool from each section. Length of Video: The total length of the video presentation should not be more than 9 minutes (marks would be deducted for longer presentation).

Note: Put the video link of your group video demonstration in the cover page of your Group Report.
