Q The multi-stakeholder model emerged for governance of the Internet. At present, this model has had only marginal ability to improve security outside of some technical and engineering improvements in protocols. Think about what else can be done within international organizations, multi-lateral funding agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to improve global cybersecurity. As always be mindful of plagiarism. The Excelsior Library Writing Help (Links to an external site.) and Online Writing Lab (OWL) (Links to an external site.) are available for assistance. The module learning outcomes addressed in this activity are: • Evaluate cybersecurity as an international relations issue (CO #1) • Explain why different nations may take different views of cybersecurity (CO #1, #2) • Discuss international policy issues regarding cybersecurity (CO #1) The input of each student adds value to the course and creates a better experience for everyone. Although this is an online asynchronous course that you can access on your own schedule, your regular participation is mandatory. You will be expected to log in and participate at least two times per week on separate days throughout the term. When participating in the discussion forums, be both honest and respectful of ideas and comments from your classmates. Please remember the board discussions take place in an open forum, so refrain from vulgar language and racial, sexist, or any other comments that an individual might find offensive. Please contribute at least one original post, due on Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, with at least two substantive replies to fellow students posted by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Keep in mind that if reply posts come in Sunday evening, this is not a robust discussion. I reserve the right to ask you to contribute sooner or more frequently if this will enhance learning. Question After completing the assigned readings for the module, please respond to the following question in your initial post: • You are a member of the President’s National Security Council and must prepare talking points for the National Security Advisor to brief the President on the following question: What steps can the United States take within the internal forums such as the United Nations and the G-20 to improve cybersecurity? Use course materials or outside academic resources to support your conclusions.
