POL 337A Cybersecurity

This class will examine the policy debates over cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, drones, critical infrastructure protection, cyber crime and cyberterrorism, and the national, public-private, and international responses to meet these growing security threats. Cyberthreats move fast, often outpacing organizational responses. How are policies and organizations responding to rapidly changing cybersecurity threats? What authorities and capacities do the public and private sectors bring to the new security environment of a global, IT-connected world? How do the EU, UN, and US approaches to cyber security compare? The course will use case studies; no prior or technical knowledge is needed.
