WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT =

This assignment can be completed either individually or as teamwork. In individual task, you will have to provide one policy recommendation; in case you opt for teamwork you should provide policy recommendations from one perspective per person in the group. The maximum group size can be 4 persons. Deadline for submission of written assignment is 10 January 2016.

INSTRUCTIONS

You are cyber security advisor to the Government of one country. A major cyber incident is occurring that affects the country’s national security. The Head of Government needs information on the full range of ongoing crisis and policy response alternatives available to respond, and you have been tasked to develop policy recommendation to the Government. You should provide policy recommendation from one of the following perspectives:

- Crisis management at national level;

- Critical infrastructure;

- Private sector;

- Diplomacy/ international organisations;

- Legal;

- Cyber security.

To present your policy recommendation, you will have to keep in mind all aspects in order to successfully synthesize useful policy measures from the limited information available.

You will be provided with fictional information on the background and current situation of a major cyber attack. The scenario will present a fictional account of political and economic developments leading up to the cyber incident. You are restricted to the facts provided within the coming week in order to formulate your analysis. You will have to provide a WRITTEN POLICY PAPER of 1500 words. This will be an analytical paper, discussing the potential implications of the cyber attack for different state and non-state actors and exploring one policy recommendation from selected perspective as chosen in depth.

Some tips:

- Don’t fight the scenario – assume the information given is true, and explore the implications of that information, not plausibility of scenario.

- Be creative – cyber policy is an evolving discourse and there is no single correct policy response to any scenario. There can be many ideas to experiment with in responding to crisis.

- Analyse the issues – it will be more important to analyse the issues than to list all possible problems or solutions.


Information on background and current situation of cyber attack affecting the country:

will be added in the first week of December.
