One interesting fact about me is that I initially started as a Computer Science major, but I changed my path because I became more interested in cybersecurity and how it connects with networks, software, and AI. I also feel like cybersecurity will continue to be in high demand for a long time, even with the rise of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I recently learned is that I am especially interested in security engineering. I like how it focuses on designing security measures for organizations while also combining concepts from computer science, cybersecurity, and information technology. I think you have to be well-rounded to pursue this type of career. What sparked my interest in the field is that I have always enjoyed technology since I was a kid, and working on personal projects related to cybersecurity and software engineering made me even more interested in this field.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":32459,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32459"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":296,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295\/revisions\/296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedcyber\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
