Module 1

After reading the module notes and the assigned readings, you will have formed some ideas on what defines cybersecurity. Your background, field of employment, and to some extent technical knowledge of computers and networks will influence your approach to cybersecurity. This activity is designed to have you examine your definition of cybersecurity and to assess its viability and effectiveness to reaching national security goals.

Question

After completing the assigned readings for the module, please respond to the following question in your initial post:

·        Assume you are a staff member supporting a senior government official. You must prepare a definition of cybersecurity that the official would use in a public speech. Include in your discussion the key security issues that guided you to this definition and your approach to the challenge. Please cite course materials and/or outside scholarly research to support your conclusions.

Note: Please contribute one original post in response to each discussion question.  Response should be 2-3 paragraphs and include citations and references in APA format.

M1D2: Cybersecurity Paradigms

Module 1

In the assigned readings, we examined three different paradigms for approaching and improving cybersecurity.  Each paradigm has its adherents, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Is one approach better than another? How does culture and national history impact the approach to cybersecurity?

This activity requires you to examine the distinct paradigms.  Is a pure approach to cybersecurity possible or can tools from different disciplines be combined? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the different paradigms?

Make sure to validate your answer with required readings. You may also use other sources to strengthen your answer.

The module learning outcome addressed in this activity is:

·        Explain the economic, public health, and national security paradigms for cybersecurity strategy (CO #2)

Question

After completing the assigned readings for the module, please respond to the following question in your initial post:

·        Which of the three paradigms for national-level cybersecurity (national security, economic, or public health) do you think is best for a country to use in developing its cybersecurity strategy? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen approach? Why is your selected approach best?  Please cite course materials and/or outside scholarly research to support your conclusions.

Note: Please contribute one original post in response to each discussion question.  Response should be 2-3 paragraphs and include citations and references in APA format.
