3. Case Study Discussion
 Describe the security breach experienced by Sunnylake.
Why do you think this breach occurred? What would you
have done to prevent it?
 What do you think Sunnylake should do now? Would you
make the same recommendation to your manager if all of
your office was locked out of its computer systems?
 What was the underlying cause of the collapse of the
CareGroup system?
 Does the reason a network fails change the nature of the
response? For example, in what ways is Sunnylake’s
response helped or hindered by receiving a ransom notice?
Do you think CareGroup would have reaction differently if
they had coincidently received a threatening message?
