Abstract

The article discusses the suite of courses in cybersecurity and international studies offered by the Jackson School at the University of Washington. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the geopolitical and socio-economic factors that drive cyberattacks, such as state-sponsored attacks and ransomware organizations. The curriculum aims to educate students on the history, policies, and actors shaping cybersecurity, as well as technical concepts and professional skills. The location of the school in Seattle allows for a unique perspective, with a focus on private sector and local government voices rather than just federal government perspectives. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of combining social science training with technology and security policy specialization to address cybersecurity issues effectively.
