Topic- Cyber security awareness and practices among small and medium-sized enterpriseGot
a feedback from proffessor please review the below feedbackYour topic, “Cyber security awareness and practices among small and medium-sized enterprises” is too generic. Please provide some context to clarify your proposed research. Any literature to support the study is a good start. This information will also inform your research approach (quant vs qual). As it is, you are mixing case study (qual) with quant. Although research questions are not finalized at this stage, the gap in literature will also help formulate your research questions down the road.

What is the population you would like to address? Where will you select your sample from?
Quantitative studies should include a sample selected from a large population across
multiple schools, districts, or organizations. Describe the target population for your
study. This involves the representative population for the individuals you plan to
recruit for the study. Include an approximate size of this target population. This can
typically be found using a resource such as the U.S. BLS. Then follow with a
description of the location of your recruitment site, meaning the specific organization,
social media group, or site(s) where you will recruit this target population as study
participants.
Note. For studies that involve no live subjects, you will describe the location from
where you will gather the archival raw data for your study.
