After watching the video, write a journal entry about how you think the media influences our understanding of cybersecurity.

Before joining the cyber field the media’s influence on understanding cybersecurity is very unrealistic and most times it goes unnoticed. The media’s main objective is to entertain the people so they cannot go through and make everything realistic. However, there is still a message that people can get from them like do not recycle passwords and don’t log on to just any internet connection because it can be fake. Media makes cybersecurity look futuristic so that people can stay engaged in the film For example, movies like “Fast and Furious” give an unrealistic idea of what hacking looks like although they use realistic terms. I believe since media has a major influence on people if they showed what real cybersecurity work looked like maybe more people would show interest in the field.
