His presentation was engaging and gave key insights into how we can best defend against cybersecurity attacks from both a military and civilian perspective. He highlighted how in today&#8217;s world of constant attacks and evolving APTs, we must understand the differences between defending for if an attack happens, and when. I found this to be the most interesting part of the event as it shifted my perspective on how to defend, mitigate, and prepare for these types of threats. For lower-complexity attacks, we must defend our systems for <em>if<\/em> they get through; this includes firewalls, IDS systems, and other standard cybersecurity practices. For Advanced Persistent Threats, especially in the realm of cyberwarfare and cyberterrorism, we must prepare for <em>when<\/em> these attacks occur; this means we must be ready to respond and recover to the best of our ability because they are more likely to slip past standard cybersecurity defenses. Overall, I enjoyed listening to Dr. Avooske&#8217;s presentation, talking with him about his various roles in the cybersecurity community, and learning more about the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa1-1-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa1-1-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa1-1-398x300.jpg 398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/dcaplinger\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36874\/2024\/10\/cvcsa2-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflection from CVCSA&#8217;s October Speaker at ODU: Dr. Avooske On October 14, I attended the October Speaker Series event hosted by Coastal Virginia Cybersecurity Students Association where the speaker was Dr. Avooske. he is the Vice President of Information Advantage at Frontier Technology.
