Team 1 Section 4

  Feasibility and cost of defending against such attacks. 
  For each class of target (home, corporate, financial), teams should 
     1) identify existing financial and non-financial incentives for 
        installing defenses, 
     2) evaluate the adequacy of these incentives, 
     3) discuss whether additional protection would be cost-effective, 
     4) identify the lowest cost provider for upgrading protection 
        (e.g., Microsoft, Norton, AOL, Corporate IT networks, 
        computer owners), and 
     5) list and evaluate possible policy levers for government 
        intervention (e.g., tax incentives, legal liability, insurance).
