Project 4 Solving the Cybersecurity Workforce Crisis

For this project, you will be researching and reporting on the cybersecurity workforce crisis as it affects state governments. Your audience will be the members of an organization for state government officials such as the National Governor’s Association and the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. The results of your research project will be used to help develop a one-day workshop on strategies for developing and growing the cybersecurity workforce at the state government level.

Research:

Write:

Write a three to four page research report which includes a summary of your research, findings, and recommendations. At a minimum, your paper must include the following:

1.An introduction or overview of the cybersecurity workforce issues which impact State governments. This overview should address the political, economic, socio-cultural (including education), and technological factors which contribute to the perceived lack of qualified cybersecurity workers. This introduction should be suitable for an executive audience.

2.A separate section which addresses three to five specific reasons why states have difficulty hiring a sufficient number of trained and qualified cybersecurity workers for positions in state agencies and offices.

3.A separate section which addresses three to five specific “non-cybersecurity” reasons why a workforce shortage affecting state governments may currently exist. Consider and discuss whether or not the workforce shortage arises out of state budget problems rather than training and education or salary.

4.A recommendations section which identifies and discusses at least five training, education, marketing or hiring actions which state governments could take to attract cybersecurity talent and reduce or alleviate a cybersecurity workforce shortage for trained and qualified cybersecurity personnel. These recommendations should include several alternative practices which deemphasize salary.

5.A separate Summary section in which you present a summary of your research and recommendations.

Case Study 1 – Chapter 10
Please submit a hard copy of the answers to me by Sunday 21 October at 12pm.
1. Consider an asset that costs $730,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its eightyear tax life. The asset is to be used in a five-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can
be sold for $192,000. If the relevant tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from
the sale of this asset?
2. A proposed new project has projected sales of $164,000, costs of $87,000, and depreciation
of $15,200. The tax rate is 35 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different
approaches described in the chapter and verify that the answer is the same in each case.
3. Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial
fixed asset investment of $2.9 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero
over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to
generate $2,190,000 in annual sales, with costs of $815,000. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is
the OCF for this project?
4. In the previous problem, suppose the required return on the project is 12 percent. What is
the project’s NPV?
5. In the previous problem, suppose the project requires an initial investment in net working
capital of $300,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $210,000 at the end of the
project. What is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? What is the new
NPV?
6. Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $425,000 computer-based order entry
system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be
worth $30,000 at the end of that time. You will save $130,000 before taxes per year in order
processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $60,000 (this is a one-time
reduction). If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
7. In the previous problem, suppose your required return on the project is 11 percent and your
pretax cost savings are $150,000 per year. Will you ...
