For this assignment, you must select a research topic in Cybersecurity and use the template provided to create an annotated bibliography containing at least 5 scholarly resources. Plan to use your completed assignment to help you with the development of a literature review in the next assignment. You will also be required to add this annotated bibliography as an appendix to the research proposal you will develop at the end of the course.

- A selection methodology that describes why the resources were included in the annotated bibliography

- A reference list that provides a list of the resources following APA guidelines.
- Formal academic writing is used. Never use first or second-person references in research papers.
