IT 380 Module Three Case Study Analysis Guidelines and Rubric Overview: This case study analysis will help you analyze a cyber security scenario and identify which principles were violated. Each skill in this paper is an essential part of the final project and accompanying milestones in this course. Prompt: Use the articles from the Module Three required resources to analyze the cyber security occurrence, determine which principles were violated, and recommend appropriate policies to prevent recurrence. Scenario: In February 2015, as many as 80 million customers of the nation’s second‐largest health insurance company, Anthem Inc., had their account information stolen. This compromise affected customers in at least 14 different states where Anthem provided services. The hackers gained access to Anthem’s computer system and got information including names, birthdays, medical IDs, Social Security numbers, street addresses, email addresses, and employment information including income data. Both current and former customers were exposed during this breach. So, while this was an attack against a medical provider and it resulted in a massive data breach, regulatory requirements were not sufficient to help prevent this breach. Because no actual medical information appears to have been stolen, the breach would not come under Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules, which govern the confidentiality and security of medical information. Based on the Test Out sections from this module and the additional module resources you have reviewed, your paper should address the following critical elements:    Identification of cyber security principles that were violated and rationale of cause Analysis of cryptography that would have helped prevent this breach Recommendation of additional policies that would have been useful to mitigate the breach or even prevent the breach Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be submitted as a 2‐ to 3‐page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12‐point Times New Roman font, and one‐inch margins. All academic sources must be cited following the latest APA guidelines. Critical Elements Identification of Cybersecurity Principles That Were Violated Analysis of Cryptography and Prevention Policy Recommendation Proper Use of Writing, Mechanics, and Grammar Exemplary (100%) Meets “Proficient” criteria and correctly identifies which principles were violated with empirical supporting examples Meets “Proficient” criteria and analysis demonstrates keen insight of cryptography and prevention methods Meets “Proficient” criteria and recommendation demonstrates understanding of policies that would remedy the situation appropriately Paper is free of errors in organization and grammar with applicable sources cited Proficient (90%) Correctly identifies which principles were violated with supporting examples Needs Improvement (70%) Not Evident (0%) Identifies which principles were Does not identify a single violated but supporting examples principle have gaps Analysis demonstrates accurate knowledge of cryptography and prevention methods Analysis demonstrates knowledge of cryptography but needs additional information to support prevention ideas Recommends a single policy to remedy situation but recommendation has gaps in strategic implementation Does not analyze the cryptography and prevention methods 30 Does not recommend any policies 30 Paper contains errors of organization and grammar but errors are limited enough so that assignments can be understood; cites applicable sources Paper contains errors of organization and grammar making the content difficult to understand 10 Recommends policies to ensure proper resolution of scenario Paper is mostly free of errors of organization and grammar; errors are marginal and rarely interrupt the flow; cites applicable sources Value 30 Total 100%

Cyber Security Principles
Health Information securities should ensure that all information and information systems
are secure from any unauthorized use, access, disruption, disclosure, destruction, or
modification. The system can only be effective if it can ensure confidentiality, availability, and
integrity of information. However, like in case of Anthem, their system was not sufficient
enough because an unauthorized person was able to access their information system and acquired
all information from the system such as medical ids, employment information among others
according to Steve (2015). This breach affected their customers and in the long run, may affect
their business because many may not be trusted by their clients anymore. The cyber security
principles...
