How to make money evaluating cybersecurity in seven easy steps.
Step One: Convince a company to let you do a cybersecurity evaluation.
Step Two: Find anything that has software, or firmware, or an OS, that’s not fully up to date.
Step Three: Find anything that hasn’t been included in an offline, unpowered backup.
Step Four: Find any active account for an employee that no longer works there.
Step Five: Find any device not included in an infrastructure or endpoint inventory.
Step Six: Write a report with recommendations.
Step Seven: Send your invoice.
Step Five B: Find any software installed by "shadow IT".
(That should be easy, as long as you don't need to be exhaustive.)

This will have pile A with x coins that are heads, and pile B with 5-x coins that are heads. Thus, the distribution may be (0,5),(1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1),(5,0)
2. Flip all the coins in pile A.
This will change the amount of heads in pile A from x to 5-x, and the result will be one of the following: (5,5),(4,4),(3,3),(2,2),(1,1),(0,0)
