Homework: Computer Science

Instructions

This homework has three parts.

The first part involves picking something you found interesting, exploring it beyond the readings, and expanding on it in a paper. This section of your paper needs to be at least three pages long and cannot be about something you wrote directly about in a forum.

The second part involves picking one of the critical infrastructures you learn and writing about it using the six guidelines below. You cannot write about the critical infrastructure that you wrote about in the first paper or the forum.

The third part involves picking one of the critical infrastructures you learn five and writing about it using the six guidelines below. You cannot write about the critical infrastructure you wrote about in the forum.

It is up to you to decide what will be the most interesting for you!

You need to use the following outline for each of the two critical infrastructures:

1. Provide a Hypothetical Threat (cyber, natural disaster, or physical)

2. Brief background on the Critical Infrastructure as it relates to National Security

3. Elaborate on the known Risks/Threats/Hazards/Vulnerabilities from the Hypothetical Threat

4. Explain how damage from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors

5. Existing Resiliency related to the Continuity of Operations

6. Consider how to Minimize Disruption that improves First Responder Safety.
