Discuss, in the form of a short essay, how the risk associated with the threat of cyber terrorism is being responded to by the US government as per the reading. In addition, provide Canadian context to the topic. You should also consider the threat of state sponsored cyber-intrusions as has recently been evidenced in the wake of the US election.
For this paper, you are to focus on the threat of cyber terrorism and state-sponsored cyber intrusions from the perspective of both a broad social impact and also the potential threat of attack on American infrastructure (e.g. air traffic, utility systems, etc.) The foundation of your response is to come from the attached reading.
How does this response enhance their national and/or global security?
What risk does the American response have on other elements of cyber ethics (e.g. privacy, net neutrality, etc.)?
Briefly identify how Canada is responding to the threat in either a contrasting or complimentary nature - identify the key differences between the two national responses (if any) or reinforce the alignments.
Has the Canadian government provided the necessary protection to prevent an attack on
Canadian infrastructure and? Explain.
