Short Answer

1. Explain the “borderless” phenomena that exists in relation to the jurisdictional boundaries of the U.S.
   1. As a result of accelerating technological innovation, time and space have been dramatically compressed such that global flows today are non-stop. Globalization is the cumulative effect of these trends: a 24/7/365 movement around the world of capital, labor, cargo, people, goods, services, ideas, images, data, and electrons instantaneously and continuously. Today these flows often operate independent of governments. They are the decisions of actors such as multinational corporations and transnational criminal organizations.

3. Describe the use of the exercise “Cyber Storm” in evaluating cybersecurity.
   1. DHS has also leveraged its relationships with foreign governments and international organizations to advance U.S. cybersecurity interests. For example, since 2006, DHS has organized a biennial exercise called “Cyber Storm” to evaluate the abilities of U.S. entities and U.S. allies to manage significant cyber events. The most recent of these exercises, Cyber Storm V, took place in 2016, and incorporated teams from most U.S. federal agencies, many U.S. state governments, over two dozen businesses, and twelve partner nations, including Australia, Hungary, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
4. Summarize the use of international economic sanctions to combat terrorism.
   1. These sanctions are legally enforceable prohibitions on the transfer of money or goods by sanctioned persons or organizations. They are designed to cut off terrorist financing sources.
