Research
Research has been one of the most valuable skills I developed at ODU. The courses taught me to analyze cybersecurity problems thoroughly by connecting different concepts and applying research evidence to resolve real-world security issues. The three artifacts I selected demonstrate my research skill development through my work on ‘Social Implications of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework’, ‘Effectiveness of the NIST CSF’ and ‘Windows Event Logs in Cybersecurity Forensics’. The first paper showed me how to connect technical frameworks with social and ethical aspects which include trust and organizational culture. The second analysis involved comparing the NIST CSF to other methods which helped me evaluate different approaches to identify their advantages and disadvantages for creating well-rounded assessments. The third section of my research concentrated on Windows Event Logs. This assignment helped me build my research scoping skills which I could apply to real-world situations.

Technical Skills
The three artifacts show how I have used my technical skills in real-world professional settings. The ‘Digital Forensics’ assignment required me to perform digital forensic work which involved device imaging, file recovery and communication analysis. The training delivered fundamental information about correct digital evidence management and improved my skills for conducting cybersecurity investigations. The ‘Case Analysis’ required me to create a secure network design which included VLANs, firewalls and structured cabling. The assignment demonstrated the process of developing technical solutions which enhance operational performance while maintaining system security. My professional work and dedication I have shown has earned me several awards which demonstrate that my abilities are trusted and valued by others.

Writing
Writing has been an important skill I developed during my time at ODU. The three selected artifacts demonstrate my development of clear and effective writing through ‘Freedom of Expression and Privacy in the Digital World’, ‘SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack’ and ‘Social Media and Adolescent Mental Health’ papers. The Freedom of Expression and Privacy paper enabled me to link my personal experiences with academic research and legal principles which helped me present complicated information in an easy-to-understand manner. The SolarWinds Attack project improved my ability to explain highly technical cybersecurity events to both academic and professional audiences. The Adolescent Mental Health paper showed my capacity to link psychology with sociology and public health disciplines by using research evidence in my assessment. The assignments show my skill to create detailed work that fulfills particular objectives which help both academic and professionally.
