1. There is a wide range of cybersecurity initiatives that exist on the international level. From a U.S.
perspective, the majority of these are coordinated by the Department of
Homeland Security. Discuss at least two initiatives and the challenges
facing each in providing an effective deterrent to cybersecurity threats.
2. Due to the global nature of the Internet, evidence of U.S.
targeted cybercrimes is increasingly only available outside the judicial
borders of the country.
A.
Discuss the role of Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) in allowing the
investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes.
B.
Provide at least one example of these MLATs.
3.
To foster and develop national
preparedness and encourage the exploration of risk related interdependencies
across the public and private sectors of the critical infrastructure, DHS
established a Cross-Sector Cyber Security Working Group in 2007. One of
the key outcomes of this group was the establishment of the National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) and the Risk Management Framework.
A. What are the elements of the Risk
Management Framework?
B. Why should organizations consider
the use of that framework for a cybersecurity program?
4. During
this class, reviews were presented on numerous alliances and partnerships that
have been formed to increase and share technical knowledge required for
mitigation current and future cybersecurity threats. However,
cybersecurity public awareness and education programs are also important for
risk mitigation. Choose one public awareness and education effort and discuss
the background of the effort and the audience for whom the effort is intended.
