I explored the risks these systems face and how a cyberattack could affect people&#8217;s everyday lives. This assignment helped me better understand why protecting critical infrastructure is so important and how cybersecurity plays a role in keeping these services running safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-8871b7e8-4af9-4956-9309-441657afde48\" href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ashly-schuhmacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41584\/2026\/10\/Schuhmacher_SCADA-Systems-Write-Up.docx\">Schuhmacher_SCADA Systems Write Up<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ashly-schuhmacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41584\/2026\/10\/Schuhmacher_SCADA-Systems-Write-Up.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-8871b7e8-4af9-4956-9309-441657afde48\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Human Factor in Cybersecurity<\/strong><br>For this assignment, I focused on how people&#8217;s actions and decisions can affect cybersecurity. I discussed phishing, social engineering, and insider threats, including how simple mistakes can put sensitive information at risk.
