Start with understanding how these each operate and how they differ. Identify your network, and answer the following: Is your network scale free or small world? How do you know? Which principles of scale-free or small-world networks apply to your selected network and the interdependencies between and among its assets, nodes, and links? Is your network also a cascading network? Specifically, why do you believe it is or is not? How does understanding the difference between scale-free and small-world networks help to plan protective measures more successfully? How can understanding your type of network potentially impact your vulnerability and risk analyses? Provide at least 2 examples of how understanding your network better in this respect helps you understand potential vulnerabilities and defend against them.
