Homework: Information Security Policies- MS Cybersecurity
Length: 2000 words.
Identify a recent incident in cyber(in)security, investigate it in detail and write up a report on it using the following structure. See below for ineligible incidents.
The paper must contain the following two sections:
• Apply the Diamond model
Use the framework of the model to identify Adversary, Victim, Infrastructure and Capability. Pay special attention to what the paper calls "the Social-Political meta-feature determining the Adversary-Victim relationship, and the Technology meta-feature enabling both the infrastructure and capabilities."
• Policy assessment
Identify at which level of organization this problem is best addressed. Does this incident, in your judgment, reflect the need for some kind of public policy change at the national or transnational level? Or is it best handled at the organizational or industry level? In making this assessment, consider how common these types of incidents are, what kinds of risks they pose, and what kind of legal, technical or policy tools could combat them.
