From e-commerce sites to banking and government databases, the public trusts that their information is secure once they’ve set up a password-protected account. When data breaches occur, it can cause serious security issues, such as when Equifax’s data breech impacted 147 million Americans (Federal Trade Commission, 2022). 
A manager must have the critical skill of employee relations and be able to integrate legal and ethical principles in the management of staff. The situations that managers and their employees face are frequently more about how you respond to them than what is happening. You must be able to manage employees and teams during periods of organizational change or even turmoil.
In this assessment, you are the manager when an employee reports that their corporate email account was hacked after they accepted an email from a fraudulent source. After this attack, a virus infected your organization’s servers and hackers had access to your organization’s data.
