Event Analysis: A paper (4-6 pp) analyzing how a significant cyber event influenced policy direction. This can be global, regional or a domestic issue but it must have shaped a government’s or multiple government’s approach to their cyber policy and doctrine. The Event October 2010. Stuxnet, a complex piece of malware designed to interfere with Siemens Industrial Control Systems, was discovered in Iran, Indonesia, and elsewhere, leading to speculation that it was a government cyber weapon aimed at the Iranian nuclear program. 1) Ensure you provide context for the event. This means highlighting the domestic, regional and/or global political situation that is going on. 2) Articulate your understanding of the motives the actor had (e.g.. was it economic, political, espionage, in support of a war effort). 3) Speak to the response of the impacted country(ies). What did they do? Why? If multiple countries were impacted, did they react in a coordinated way or did each one behave differently? Why? If a country did not respond, why not? (This often happens and the lack of a response is interesting as it says something about the goals that a country has or the response may not have been public). 4) Why was this event important? Did it alter the way policymakers think about cyber? Were laws changed? Was their a societal impact that governments had to address? Was the action and response escalatory in anyway? How so? (Note, it can be some or all of these or even have other impacts I’ve not listed, this is just meant to get you thinking). 5) Do you agree with the actions the impacted country(ies) took? Do you think there were alternative responses that could have been more productive? Why? I’m looking for quality analysis not a specific number of pages. If you can say what you need to say in 4 pp, great. If it takes you 7, that’s fine. footnotes and sources in APA format!!!
