Yes. You can do your EPQ on anything, but you have to make it more specific, especially before you start finding sources.

Well, EPQ is a research task. You have a question and you have to research about it to write about your research & reach a conclusion. You also have to be able to fit all of your research in about 5,000 words.
You have to be able to make a question, and this question has to be specific (for the sake of fitting it into 5,000 words - if it's too vague you'd have a LOT to write about)

So for example instead of "Why is cybersecurity needed?" (that being very vague) you'd narrow it down (by researching more about it until you find something specific you're interested in) to "What are the biggest challenges in cybersecurity for businesses today?"
(don't use the examples i've given you though; you have to come up with something yourself!)
