Analyze the effects of the global market for sale of ZDEs. Can the proliferation of ZDEs and cyberweapons be controlled or managed by a treaty similar to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty? Is it possible to keep a count of cyber weapons the same way we can monitor nations to count their nuclear weapons? Explain your answer.
Describe the characteristics and possible effects on computer equipment and businesses due to a cyberattack using Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) or Microwave Directed Energy. Compare those characteristics and effects on computers to the traditional effects that are commonly associated with a malicious code cyberattack.
