How should government justify telling private industry how to set up or improve their cybersecurity
How should government justify telling private industry how to set up or improve their cybersecurity? • Keeping the focus on national security concerns, clearly discuss the compelling sociopolitical reasons, motivations, or arguments for or against government intervention into private sector cybersecurity. • Clearly discuss the methods of government intervention. That is, what authorities (such as laws, regulations and rules) give the executive or legislative representatives the right to regulate private industry? • Describe real-world examples that help support your discussion.
Clearly discuss the impacts/effects, if any, on national security due to government regulation required to be implemented by private industry. • Clearly discuss effects on national security that might result from (a) failure to comply with related cyber regulations or requirements, (b) meeting only the minimum requirements, and (c) exceeding the minimum requirements. • Clearly discuss whether private industry now has a responsibility to protect national security through implementing good cybersecurity controls imposed by government regulation.
