We are currently living in a technology world and most things involve and are operated by computers. I have always been someone whose been interested in computers and cybersecurity so I figured that this would be the perfect major and career path for me to engage in. I understand that it is a very rewarding field and there will definitely be great jobs available for someone like me with hopes and plans of having a great career and future in cybersecurity. I have been a victim of cyber crime before, as well as many other individuals globally. One year online gaming networks were hacked by a cyber attack group known as lizard squad and it prevented millions of people from enjoying their gaming consoles one holiday season. I want to make a difference in the cyber world and defend cyber platform from attacks such as the gaming hack that affected Playstation and xbox players.
