Reflection

While taking this course I was able to realized just how important cybersecurity polices are to the continued defense of cybercrime not only for business but for governments too. While writing this papers I start to understand more and more about how vital they are and how they can affect not only how we fight cybercrime but also how they can have affects on citizens and society as a whole either by the policy introducing technologies that could limit peoples privacy on the internet to creating conflict amongst different nations especially those who are hostile to each other.
