Interdisciplinary research has been integral to my coursework at ODU in connecting complex concepts and disciplines together. Cybersecurity itself is considered interdisciplinary, and forward-focused research must do the same. By connecting these dots between what might be considered separate fields, I am able to approach problems with diverse perspectives to reach innovative solutions. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blending cybersecurity operations with auditory alerting brings a new way for security analysts to handle incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Elections are increasingly becoming a target for cyber incidents, but examining how such cyber incidents affect the perception of elections, and as such our democracy, is crucial.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This analysis helps bridge the gap between how medical practices, regulatory issues, cybersecurity, and legal frameworks interact with one another to keep patients and the technologies they use safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n As technology begins to be integrated with other aspects of daily life, it is essential for ethical principles to be understood to keep biocybersecurity practices safe and responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the core technical skills necessary for success in the cybersecurity industry is understanding Linux tools. It represents understanding command-line structure, system navigation, and problem-solving at a deeper level. Getting to dig into these labs and familiarizing myself with such an efficient operating system was very helpful in establishing a strong cybersecurity foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Scripting is an essential part of automating complex processes and getting the most out of a Linux architecture. This lab demonstrates that proficiency in system operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Networking is the underlying communication behind cyberspace, so a strong understanding of how to configure environments is essential to any cybersecurity professional’s knowledge base.<\/p>\n\n\nDCaplinger-270-Lab11 <\/p>\n\n\n\n To defend against cyber attacks, a cybersecurity defender must understand the tools attackers use. This lab showcases my understanding of password cracking using common tools like John the Ripper.<\/p>\n\n\nDCaplinger-CYSE270-Lab5 <\/p>\n\n\n\n During my time at ODU, I specifically wanted to learn more about digital forensics and the processes that exist within this subdiscipline. Throughout that journey, I was able to understand the technical and administrative side of running such a lab while also leaning into a full investigation analysis. As with most of my assignments in the cybersecurity curriculum, I then took what I learned from this to cross it with other disciplines for research purposes. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital forensics analysis must start from a proper digital lab and accreditation process. This demonstrates my understanding of both, showing a well-rounded understanding of the digital forensics process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n As artificial intelligence becomes more commonplace, I wanted to begin looking towards the future of how AI can be integrated into digital forensics and the concerns that need to be addressed before doing so.<\/p>\n\n\nCYSE-270-Final-Paper-Zachary-Boozer-Danielle-Caplinger <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a culmination of my digital forensics journey at ODU, I was able to analyze a sample investigation to show the start-to-finish process of evidence collection, tools used, and cybercrime inferences made from evidence analysis. <\/p>\n\n\nDCaplinger-407-Final Interdisciplinary Research Interdisciplinary research has been integral to my coursework at ODU in connecting complex concepts and disciplines together.
