Identify a recent incident in cyber(in)security and apply the Diamond model

Identify a recent incident in cyber(in)security,

The paper must contain the following two sections:

  1. Apply the Diamond model

Use the framework of the model to identify Adversary, Victim, Infrastructure and Capability. Pay special attention to what the paper calls “the Social-Political meta-feature determining the Adversary-Victim relationship, and the Technology meta-feature enabling both the infrastructure and capabilities.”

  1. Policy assessment

Identify at which level of organization this problem is best addressed. Does this incident, in your judgment, reflect the need for some kind of public policy change at the national (9) or transnational (10) level? Or is it best handled at the organizational (8) or industry level (8.5)? In making this assessment, consider how common these types of incidents are, what kinds of risks they pose, and what kind of legal, technical or policy tools could combat them.

Grading will be based on the following criteria:

  • Thoroughness of background research
  • Demonstrated understanding of and correct application of the diamond model
  • Demonstrated understanding of the different “layers” of governance and the reasoning underlying your policy recommendations
  • Clarity and organization of the writing
