Correct Answer: QSPR  

Solution: Sentence Q talks about how arrogant managers can evaluate themselves better than what they already are. This is what the entire paragraph rests upon and therefore must be the introductory sentence. Sentence S just carries forward the idea of Q by saying that these employees are not good at viewing the threats and opportunities. This must be the second sentence. P talks about the environmental situation faced by the organization due to the bureaucratic culture. P is the third sentence and is followed by R which comments on how the lack of leadership makes the organization crippled in such situations. It sums up the gist of the paragraph and is therefore the concluding sentence.

Mandate basic security practices and policies for all employees, such as 2-factor authentication, internet use guidelines and create and enforce rules on handling and protecting sensitive data. Conduct frequent training to sensitize employees about opening suspicious emails, encrypting their data, using strong passwords on their devices, installing security apps, and limiting activity over public Wi-Fi. Implement and enforce incident reporting to help ensure that even the smallest breach is report to management as well as the IT teams. II. Basics still matter and are some of the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats. Assess the assets that are most at risk - data, servers, network - and ensure that the systems are updated with the latest security software, web browser, and operating system. Implement firewall security and run antivirus software after each update.  III. Ensure regular backup of all critical data - whether stored in-house or on the cloud.
