4 Questions due in Cyber

Question 1:

Find a Cybersecurity-related current event, activity, or development in the news. In your discussion post, briefly summarize the event and reflect on its significance. You should use any legitimate news source (television, internet, periodicals, etc.) to support your topical input. Questions to address might include:

· How does the event relate to issues addressed in class?

· How might similar situations be mitigated?

· What is the broader impact of the event (e.g., nationally, globally, etc.)

Include a link to the story or a citation so that others may read the story.

Question 2:

Is the concept of a Cyber Peace that is specifically focused upon Critical Infrastructure, along with supporting treaties, monitoring, enforcement, and punishment for nation-states that do not comply (similar to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty) realistic and something the U.S. should pursue?

Question 3:

On your initial post, answer one of the two following questions:

1. What is the "cleared counsel" model? When is this model used? Discuss the types of problems inherent in this model?

2. What is anonymous testimony and how does that impact the rights of U.S. citizens? Discuss a case when it has been permitted and what happened in that case.

Question 4:

Provide a url address for a contemporary academic or media article which demonstrates one or more concept(s) and/or topic(s) discussed in the assigned reading for this week. Then write a brief essay, not to exceed 3 paragraphs, identifying the basis for selecting this article and how the events described in the article correlate to the concept/topic.
