Select a topic relevant to the COVID pandemic (access to health care, economic inequality, the global context of the pandemic, racial and ethnic disparities in contraction rate or access to the vaccine, political decision-making and leadership, etc). 
2. Provide at least three scholarly or otherwise trustworthy sources on your topic, and justify your use. How do they help you understand the problem or issue? Why are they good sources? (Remember Evaluating Information Sources)
3. Assess your problem or issue from an interdisciplinary perspective and explain/analyze/interpret how an interdisciplinary approach might help provide new insights or perspectives in solving or helping the problem or issue. I recommend using some of the following concepts to demonstrate your understanding:

Describe cyber defense tools, methods, and components, and explain how to apply cyber defense methods to prepare a system to repel attacks.

 
Often cybersecurity professionals forget the easiest way to access a system is through the front door and not using a computer from 100 miles away. Creating a castle in which both physical and network security defenses are defined holds off intruders.
Part 1:
Create a digital diagram of a castle, complete with all the necessary components:

Gateway router
Firewall
Antivirus
VPN
SIEM
Data backup
Server
IPS
DMZ
Multifactor authentication

Part 2:

Within each defensive layer of the castle, identify the physical security aspect of the defensive structure and the technical aspect designed to protect the king, the server. (For instance, the castle gate would be considered a physical barrier and gateway router to a system. Not every portion of the diagram may have both a physical and technical aspect.)
Incorporate within the design the physical security elements, including environmental concerns (deterrence, detection, delay, response), by identifying them throughout your castle design. Provide an explanation of the design for a professional nontechnical audience.
Describe cyber defense tools, methods, and components, and explain how to apply cyber defense methods to prepare a system to repel attacks.

Read the three basic benefits highlighted in the text and in Figure 8-1.

Select one of the reasons (or benefits) and defend why it might be  emerging as the most important one in firms’ decisions to  internationalize in the 21st Century. In answering this question, be  sure to consider the international business conditions today and look  for the motivations that underlie these current trends.
