This is a group project and I’m responsible for 14, 15, and 16 of this project. Please take you time bro.  

Transnational Legal Compliance Report; 3 Pages (Step 14)

International Standards Report; 3 Pages (Step 15)

Your team has been given the responsibility of conducting a baseline analysis for establishing a secure communications network for your assigned agency at the summit. The risk assessment process for a baseline analysis requires a multidisciplinary examination of the internal and external cyber environments.

The graded assignment for Project 1 is a Cybersecurity Policy and Baseline Analysis Report, which should be a minimum of 20 pages. There are 16 steps in this project and it should take about 17 days to complete. This project is longer in duration than others in the course because some of the work you will complete also lays the foundation for work to be completed in Projects 2, 3, and 4. Begin with Step 1, where you will complete preparatory exercises designed to familiarize you with the tools and processes to be used throughout the project.

This is what I will be working on as a team member of this project: Step 14, 15, and 16.

14. Based on the policy matrix and the environmental review and analysis you developed in previous steps, the team should provide a two- to three-page Transnational Legal Compliance Report that itemizes all of the compliance requirements that are overlapping or similar among all the nations on the cyber security task force for the conference. Include a short analysis on how these requirements are consistent (or not) with the Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the International Law Applicable to the Conduct of Cyber Operations.
In accordance with your team agreement, a designated team member will submit the Digital Forensic Environment Review and Analysis and the Transnational Legal Compliance Report to the dropbox.
Then, proceed to the next step in the project to identify the critical or key international standards determined in previous steps.

15. Now that you have looked at the regulations used by the other nations, in this step you will consider international initiatives that foster cooperation with each other.
Among the items identified in the Transnational Legal Compliance Report and the policy matrix from the previous steps are certain international initiatives that each country has undertaken to demonstrate cooperation and compliance with other nations.
From the information you have gathered and what you have learned in previous courses, determine as a team which of these initiatives provides the best opportunity for cooperation among all the delegates at the conference.
Your team should develop a two- to three-page International Standards Report. Then, in accordance with your team agreement, a designated team member will submit the report for feedback. State your sources and support your recommendations with the facts that have been gathered.

16. As a team, you will work together to create a Cybersecurity Policy and Baseline Analysis Report. This report will address the current cyber disposition of legal standing for the Five Eyes (FVEY) country you represent regarding international cyber relations. This final report will be a minimum of 20 pages in length and meet APA standards for writing. Refer to the Cybersecurity Policy and Baseline Analysis Report Instructions for further details of what to include and the general format of the report. After you have collaborated with your team, each team member should make revisions and submit an individual report, independent of the team. Submit your Cybersecurity Policy and Baseline Analysis Report for assessment.

Five Eyes Alliance

The United States, in cooperation with the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand established an agreement known as the Five Eyes (FVEY) alliance under which these countries agree to both collect, analyze, and share signals intelligence (SIGINT) and not spy on each other as adversaries (Mansfield, 2017).

The members of FVEY use their technical capabilities to collect massive amounts of information on electronic communications world-wide, to target specific individuals and groups, and to retain information about other persons for extended periods of time. This data is collected at “Special Source Operations” (SSO) locations around the globe and stored in the Five Eyes nations’ databases (Parsons, 2015).

Signals intelligence surveillance plays a critical role in the United States’ cybersecurity and cyber-offense approaches. Its cybersecurity posture is dependent upon the ability to protect and defend communications networks from infiltration, manipulation, and exploitation by adversaries both foreign and domestic. The use of deep packet inspection equipment throughout global networks allows the United States and the other FVEY members to collect metadata and content, and very intricate signals development operations enable access to, infiltration of, and modification of data on the networks of adversaries as part of their cyber-offensive strategies.

Once targets are identified, the SIGINT agencies can then identify groups and their relationships with the adversary under surveillance through the development of communications association graphs. Data collected are analyzed and filtered to examine information that may assist in a specific SIGINT operation. This data can then be used to further target specific individuals and to exploit and manipulate their devices, systems, and/or networks (Parsons, 2015).

One of the more difficult aspects of the FYVE relationship is that of the sharing of intelligence data. Disclosure of the intelligence data isn’t as much of a concern as inadvertent or unauthorized disclosures that put methods, sources, and platforms for intelligence collection at risk. While military commanders have long pushed for a common interface for actionable intelligence that can be using in operations planning, intelligence and political leaders have resisted the broadening of intelligence sharing databases due to concerns about endangering their individual nations’ assets (Erwin, 2015).
