During the conference,<br>beginning of the event, I got to speak a little bit with the president of CS2A, Jada, and I had some questions for her regarding what I should be using to practice with to get some more help since I am very new to cybersecurity. Majority of the CTF questions were quite difficult for me because I have never used any sort of virtual box without having a list of commands next to me, and I was not familiar with some of the tools they used. I was particularly stuck on the ones that had pictures linked, and this is something that I would like to work on. I learned a lot of valuable information form the speakers, including where I need to guide my learning outside of school. I was not sure where I should start for practice on programs really until I went to this event and got to talk to some people, so this was a huge help for me. I honestly expected this event to be a lot more boring and harder, as far as the CTF, than it actually was. Of course, the CTF questions that I did not answer were very hard for me, but there were actually some easy ones that I actually solved. I also really enjoyed the speakers talks and being able to work with my peers on the CTF and have meaningful discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Career Connections:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this career event, I learned about valuable tips to improve my resume, as well as many upcoming career events to look out for. I got to talk with a cybersecurity employer who gave me a list of certifications that I can work on and I received some information about ODU&#8217;s information systems program. I also received information about the career connections events that are coming up, where I can join a group and go to different companies who give you an inside look into an intern&#8217;s or employee&#8217;s day and company functions. This experience was very valuable and allowed me to network with employers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cybersecurity Everywhere Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/elizabethsimpkinsesimp003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37299\/2024\/11\/Cybersecurity_Everywhere_Presentation.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Cybersecurity_Everywhere_Presentation<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyber Ops event: Cyber Ops was a very rewarding and fun experience all together.
