Development in Emerging Economies:

1. Assume you are a staff member supporting a senior government official. You must prepare a definition of cybersecurity that the official would use in a public speech. Include in your discussion the key security issues that guided you to this definition and your approach to the challenge. Please cite course materials and/or outside scholarly research to support your conclusions.

2.Which of the three paradigms for national-level cybersecurity (national security, economic, or public health) do you think is best for a country to use in developing its cybersecurity strategy? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen approach? Why is your selected approach best? Please cite course materials and/or outside scholarly research to support your conclusions.
