3 days

After examining the roles and interests of stakeholders, this lesson delves deeper into costs. It begins with a comparison of a global pandemic to a global cybersecurity incident. The information is drawn from The Solarium Commission White Paper “Cybersecurity Lessons from the Pandemic.” Prevention is less expensive than reaction. The other activities involve student identification of economic loss from a cyber attack, and the cost of an Internet shutdown to estimate the economic cost of Internet disruptions.
