Identify any two security principles and evaluate and discuss how it can be applied to EnergyA.

Your case analysis needs to minimally address the following

Question 1: The relevance of cybersecurity in the energy sector

Question 2: Existing research on cybersecurity practices in the energy sector

Question 3: Why you are focusing on the specific two security principles

Question 4: For each security principle, identify its relevance in the energy sector

Question 5: For each security principle, identify how the principle can be implemented

Question 6: For each security principle, identify challenges presented in implementing it

Question 7: Discussion that connects your entire analysis with the topic and future implications of cybersecurity in the energy sector
