FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL: Magnus Opus and Exigence > Distinguishing Patterns in Cyber Criminal Behavior

Audience: System administrators and amateur system owners (or anyone interested in computer security)

Context: With limited resources, system administrators cannot employ one-hundred percent of their time to monitoring their systems. However, it is difficult for administrators to recognize what times of day are most effective to monitor a system. Knowledge of cyber-criminal trends and when a system is most vulnerable may influence one’s decision to allocate time and resources.

Purpose: To spread knowledge about trends about cyber-criminal actions

DOCUMENT TYPE: Review of literature

Citation style: Formal APA citation

This is cool. Cyber security is an very important field that is still emerging. Spreading more knowledge about this topic is great, as many people (including big companies) still don't take cyber security seriously.

The idea of targeted monitoring is a good strategy. Will this be your proposal? Tell me about what the reader will do after reading such a document. To just inform, seems odd here, as the risks are very serious.

Can visualization help with "seeing" an increase in attacks? Will AI eventually be used to monitor, detect, and then warn administrators?

And, ask me about how much of this information is hidden within the profession and proprietary systems.

This is a really fantastic idea! My brother actually works in cyber security and talks about implementing better strategies to avoid the manual labor of analyzing system threats after detection. I would be interesting in what your project will ultimately lead to:
- Better company security
- Trends in current cyber threats and how to prevent
- Other?
