As IT systems grow, expanding beyond a computer system to the cloud, wearable devices, the fog, and even automobiles, the number and sophistication of cyberattacks are also increasing causing national and international cyber risks. While governments recognize the need for increases and more sophistication in IT security, there is continued confusion and disagreement within and among countries as to what role the government should play in driving and managing these improvements. Emerging threats include Ransomware, the Internet of Things, cyber espionage, cyber theft, and cyber terrorism. Second, in addition to direct cyber threats on countries, individuals and businesses doing business globally can also come under attack.This may come as attacks on computers and devices but it also often involves being confronted with issues of ethics, including bribery and corruption that are risks ultimately impacting cyber security. Task: Begin your research paper. This section I will consist of: An overview of the problem internationally in regard to cyber security A discussion of the risks you are likely to encounter A discussion of the predeployment needs for preparing individuals for security issues they might encounter in other countries. The paper must be written in APA format and use reliable sources to support all information.This section will be between 5 to 7 pages. Message From the Consulting Company Director: Great, glad you are here. Listen, we need to send you overseas on an important job.We expect this to be an extended deployment of about six months. This job will be involved in helping some companies in developing countries in Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia develop policies to deal with cyber threats and to deal with the high rate of cyber attacks coming from both within and outside their countries.In order to get prepared for this important trip, I need you to brush up on some of the issues you will encounter. It is really essential that you have a firm grounding in current international security policy, strategies, and issues.You will most likely run into ethical and cultural issues that affect policy development so you will need to be prepared for any cultural shock as well as dealing with issues such as bribery and corruption at all levels.I think this is a great opportunity.You only have ten weeks to get prepared so you should start right in.As you prepare we would like you to complete a publishable paper of your research so that we can use it for others who have similar assignments.
