The case study countries include the United States, Canada, China, Iran, India, Israel, North Korea, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, and others. Countries and criminal and hacking groups that engage in cyber weapon attacks will be covered, focusing on the types of cyber-attacks that are conducted, as well as the motivations and weapons behind such attacks. Defense- in-depth principles, methodologies and tools required for effective cyber security programs will be covered. In addition to the weekly discussions, students will produce a research paper that will focus on cyber threats against “country X” and its cyber-security response measures. 

The Adjunct Instructor position requires the candidate to be an experienced professional in global security studies, with specialization in cybersecurity at the government and international levels. A PhD in the field is preferred.
