In addition, he prevents access to the SCADA system by others. A wildfire breaks out on the outskirts of the city.

Identify what type(s) of new countermeasures should have been implemented to prevent this cyber-attack from occurring.
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
