Ms. Zegart is a subject matter expert on Cyber Security. Please see this link for her full bio if you are interested http://www.hoover.org/profiles/amy-zegart. As you answer this question consider whether you think technology has improved our security or made us more vulnerable. Also, consider the current debate between the FBI and Apple about encryption. Do you think Apple should compile with the FBI’s request to break the encryption on the Apple Phone involved in the San Bernardino Valley Killings or do you believe as Apple states that creating a program to break the encryption will create further vulnerabilities jeopardizing our national security?
