Part 1:
For this assignment, you are the president's chief cybersecurity advisor. The president has asked you to answer the following question: Will the U.S. strategy to defend the country from cyber attacks be successful?
The president requests a White Paper that answers this question. In justifying your answer, you are free to offer your own insights and explain your positioning. However, your answer must also address the following:
-What are the criteria for success?
-How is the current policy similar to previous policies?
-How is the current policy different from previous policies?
-Is the technology and are the threats changing more quickly than policymakers can adapt to them?
-How does the U.S. policy compare with the policies of other governments and organizations such as the European Union?
Part 2 Opinion
As the president's chief cybersecurity advisor, you are often asked to provide opinion pieces for newspapers and journals. A major newspaper has requested that you write an article that illustrates your opinion on who should take responsibility for cybersecurity. Is cybersecurity a national security priority that requires the government to take responsibility for, as it is responsible for national defense? Or, do you think that cybersecurity is a business issue that should be managed by individual companies?
