I believe there is a lot of new innovations in this field and much opportunity for a diverse number of projects and positions. What attracts me most to this field though is that the philosophy of this field often falls into a realm of balancing innovation and improving previous concepts. I believe this allows those working in this field to be more creative in their approaches and encourages a level of team work between colleagues for things such as testing and strengthening barriers and code. I also am attracted to the social aspect of this field where it is only to your benefit to interact with teammates as to help each other find different angles to attack projects and help balance and improve current working operations. I think also with this being a newer field it is perfect for younger candidates to join and be able to make a significant impact, coupled with the fact that there are always new emerging threats as the worlds technology advances, I think that this field also creates a unique opportunity for new people entering the field to still be on the cutting edge of the development and combatant process of their respective assignment. The field of cybersecurity also provides many different avenues for you to take your work, whether it be in a business setting, trying to adjust framework that is able to maximize an organizations security for both their clients and their own safety, or in a healthcare setting where you are protecting personal information on clients.
