Do you agree or disagree with the following responses. If so, why or why not. Please provide at least 1 reference each in APA format. 1. The Internet has brought about changes in how we communicate, do business, and even on how we study. Before the Internet we would not have been able to attend this class from remote parts of the world as we are able to do now. The ease of communication brought to every corner of the world is continuing to change how old norms are carried out. Some might consider this an evolution of communication, some might consider it a revolution (CSEC 670). The Internet has not only brought about a revolution in communication. In some cases the Internet has facilitated actual revolution. After the uprisings and revolutions in Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Egypt, Elmorshidy (2011) is referring to the Internet as very powerful tool which can be used toward social change. Is social change always good? It depends on who's in charge. Can unfettered texting, FaceBook and Twitter creating havoc in the streets be considered a security risk? Only if it's your regime in danger of toppling. 2. If the cybersecurity landscape is defined by its problems, as the question is worded, then I believe cybersecurity is essentially risk management and everything that encompasses the expectation of safety in cyberspace. To put it more clearly, cybersecurity can be thought of as an organizational optimization process in respect to the identified risks to which it is exposed (Bosworth, Jacobson, 2009). This definition embraces all threats and issues related to cyberspace. In regard to the second part of the question, there are many aspects under the cybersecurity discipline umbrella which make it possible to answer yes to any number of viewpoints in so as long as it pertains to security in cyberspace. In one of our readings it states that a recent study found that there are at least 28 different definitions for cybersecurity (Kramer, Starr, Wentz, 2009). While this might be daunting to some, the main thing to remember is that all of these definitions should be viewed as aids to policy making and not limited by them (Kramer et. al., 2009). 3. The definition of Asymmetric, just as the as the definition for cybersecurity is not a clear-cut straightforward definition and it varies by who and when it is used. (Gray, 2002) asymmetric threat can be defined and associated with the acts of attacking cyberspace with unconventional low-cost means and inflicting the most damage. An approach that I find dynamic and effective in defending against asymmetric threats is the Asymmetric Threat Assessment Tool (ATAT), the illustration of how this tool operates by (King, Schmill, & Hannon, 2005) the ATAT is a tool that was designed and developed for government and military agencies as a mitigation process for secondary effects of asymmetric threats and attacks. Just like many cyberspace threats and attacks one cannot completely protect against these threats and ...
