The first part is the outline and I will need it by June 2, 2019. The topic for the paper is “Best Practices for Network Security“.

For this exercise – please create the outline for your paper. The outline should include the following all in APA format:

• Title page with title, name date, class, professor, and university info
• Top level headers which outline what you will be talking about in your paper (major topics
• Second level headers which outline specific detail headers for each of your top level headers.
• A bibliography list with at least 5 sources.
• Submit your outline in a word file with the following file naming convention: ISSC421_Outline_First_Last.doc(x) replacing the First and Last with your first and last names respectively and submit the file unto this area of the assignments

An outline is a breakout of your paper section by section starting with the Introduction. It is like a map of how you plan to build the paper and what the topic of each section will consist of.

Here’s what you should have been shooting for
