Step 7: How Can Cyber Capacity Building Help Nations Protect their Homelands?

Using your research and analysis from steps 1-6, prepare an eight-to-10-page analytical summary of your research in which you identify and discuss how wealthy nations and developing nations can and should work together to  protect their homelands by improving cyber capacity at the national level. Your summary should address the following:

1. What cyber capacity building is and why it is important to global cybersecurity efforts.

2. The uses of public-private partnerships and government to government cooperation to build cyber capacity and improve global response to cyberattacks, cybercrime prevention, and address ongoing issues arising from cyber terrorism. (Provide and discuss five or more specific examples of programs or cooperative efforts.)

3. The benefits of recruiting and deploying volunteer subject matter experts to provide support, including  pro bono professional services, in the context of public-private partnerships for cybersecurity capacity building.

4. An analysis in which you

a. Identify and discuss the three most important reasons why individual nations should develop their own trained, skilled, and professional cybersecurity workforce.

b. Identify and discuss the three largest risks to wealthy nations if they do not help smaller nations develop their cyber incident response capabilities including training and educating a cybersecurity workforce.

c. Identify and discuss the three most significant barriers or constraints which could adversely impact the success of international cooperative efforts to build cyber capacity.

5. Three to five recommendations for international cyber capacity building efforts (based upon your research and analysis).

6. Close your analytical summary paper with an appropriate concluding section that addresses the question: How does cyber capacity building help nations  protect their homeland?
