Write a five (5) to eight (8) page white paper in which you summarize your research and discuss the similarities and differences between the two guidance documents. You should focus upon clarity and conciseness more than length when determining what content to include in your paper. At a minimum, your white paper must include the following:

1.  An introduction or overview of national cybersecurity strategies. Explain the purpose of a national cybersecurity strategy and how it is used. Answer the question: why should every nation have a cybersecurity strategy? (Make sure that you address the importance of such strategies to small, resource-poor nations as well as to wealthy, developed nations.)

2.  A separate section in which you discuss the common principles and guidelines (similarities) found in both guidance documents (ENISA & CTO).

3.  A separate section in which you discuss the unique aspects of the CTO principles and guidelines for national cybersecurity strategies.

4.  A separate section in which you discuss the unique aspects of the ENISA principles and guidelines for national cybersecurity strategies.

5.  A section in which you present your recommendations to the competition team as to the approach (next steps) they should take in further refining their answer to the competition question: what is the best approach for developing a national cybersecurity strategy?

Additional Information

1.  Your white paper should use standard terms and definitions for cybersecurity concepts. The following sources are recommended:

a.  NICCS Glossary http://niccs.us-cert.gov/glossary

b.  Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-144/SP800-144.pdf

c.  Glossary sections in the two guidance documents (ENISA & CTO)
