Question 3.

Explain whether you believe the following statement to be true, and why or why not?

Countries are unlikely to attack the United States in cyberspace because they fear that the United

States will retaliate with cyberattacks against them.

You must justify your answer by referring to topics covered in the class, you can't just base your

answers on general beliefs like “other countries fear (or do not fear) the US”.

Question 4.

You have been hired by President Trump as a cybersecurity advisor. Write an essay

proposing what you believe is the most important action/policy/law he should pursue to improve

cybersecurity in the United States.

Your essay must include the following:

•A description of the proposal.

•What effect would implementing the proposal have – how would it improve cybersecurity?

•Which of the three elements of deterrence is the proposal most closely related to?

•Identify at least one cyberattack we have read about this quarter where the proposal

would make the attack less likely to occur, and explain why.

Please do not inject political commentary in your answer, what you write should be the same

regardless of who actually won the election.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

only 3 is done as per Chegg guidelines, please repost others

I don't think this statement is true, although the context is right. The other countries won't cyber attack the U.S. or any other country because this decision is not in the welfare of there country, initiating a war is a costly business be it the cyber war. So this is the overall perception that not only the U.S. or any other country no one will attack without any motive, even U.S. doesn't do so.

A cyber attack is basically implicating that one is going to war with the particular country, although these cyber attacks happen from the countries they won't take the credit as a country they blame a group of hackers for this even though if they are working for the government like China does.

I hope this helps if you find any problem. Please comment below. Don't forget to give a thumbs up if you liked it. :)
