Journal Entry#11: think about how the description of the cybersecurity analyst job relates to social behaviors.  Write a paragraph describing social themes that arise in the presentation.

In a cybersecurity analyst job, I observed several social themes that came up that show how vital human interactions are in cybersecurity. One big theme is teamwork and communication. Most cybersecurity analysts work together in groups, so being able to talk and work well with others is key to spotting and dealing with cyber threats in a timely manner. They also need to understand how certain people respond to different things, because phishing is very misleading, and most people fall for scams easily. This means cybersecurity pros must know about social behavior to do their job well. Plus, they must think about what’s right and wrong when making decisions, considering things like privacy and trust. So, while cybersecurity is mainly the practice of safeguarding the digital realm, understanding people and society is a big aspect of it as well.
