Cyber White Paper Introduction For your first assignment, the goal is to present a white paper. Your White Paper should be 4-5 pages long, not including a title page or reference list. Note: In writing for intelligence, succinctness counts, so papers longer than six pages (not including title and reference pages) will have points deducted. You must develop a white paper around a specific cyber issue; you can select any issue surrounding the cyber domain (more info below). You are encouraged to check with the professor regarding your topic if you are unsure if it is acceptable. You will need to: 1) Identify a cyber-related issue that requires closer examination. 2) Clearly state the problem. 3) Explain why this is an important issue. How will further research and solutions assist with mitigating the effects of this issue? 4) Offer a set of solutions with an optimal solution for a recommendation. Format. Your paper should have a 1-inch border on all four sides, use Times New Roman-12 point font, be double-spaced, and not have an extra space between paragraphs. All references and citations are in Chicago intext format. Introduction/Synopsis. Identify and introduce your key issue. Provide a succinct synopsis of the problem and why the issue merits further discussion and resolution. Background/Problems. Outline the scope of the issue and provide background information to orient your audience. This section focuses on orienting a decision-maker to critical issues to facilitate the resolution of the problem on an understanding of the facts that you identify. This section should be supported by evidence—as opposed to opinion. You must not shift from the main topic and pose issues that cannot be resolved. Solution. Propose a set of solutions with pros and cons to each. Recommend the optimal solution. Conclusion. Write a conclusion to wrap up the white paper and enhance your readers’ understanding Format The format of your research proposal should: 1) Be 4-5 pages, not including the title page and references. In intelligence writing, succinctness counts, so points will be deducted if your proposal is longer than six pages (not including the title page or references). 2) Include a title page, body, and reference page (title and reference page are not included within the page count). You do NOT need an abstract or table of contents.
