Policy Soup: Dealing with the Aftermath of a New Cybersecurity Policy
For this discussion you must:
1. Create an MS Word document containing your “short paper” for the discussion topic. Use MS Word to spell check and grammar check your work! Then, submit this file to the Discussions item in the assignment folder so that a Turn It In scan report is generated.
Prepare a 5 to 7 paragraph “Expert Opinion” for local government officials. This document should present a strategy for communicating with residents about a new “cybersecurity” policy that requires a user profile and password recovery information.
Your “Expert Opinion” should address the following issues:
1. How can the local government officials convince residents that this “invasion of privacy” is necessary and for their benefits?
2. Should the local government suspend implementation of the new policy for 90 days to allow members of the public to comment on the new policy? Why or Why not?
3. Identify and discuss an alternative to challenge questions as a means of authentication for the password recovery/reset process.
