This white paper examines the growing issue of online child sexual exploitation through the use of statistical data, research studies, and cybercrime trends. The project required extensive research into digital criminal behavior, online investigative challenges, and the role organizations such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children play in combating these crimes. This artifact reflects my ability to analyze complex cybercrime issues, interpret data, and connect technological crimes to real-world societal impacts. It demonstrates skills in cybercrime investigation, research analysis, and critical thinking.
This interdisciplinary analysis explores why traditional criminal justice theories and deterrence strategies are often ineffective against ransomware attacks. The assignment combined concepts from criminal justice, cybersecurity, and public policy to evaluate the evolving nature of cybercrime. This artifact demonstrates my ability to think critically across disciplines and apply theoretical concepts to modern cyber threats. It reflects my skills in threat analysis, interdisciplinary problem-solving, and cybercrime research.
This paper analyzes the 2019 Capital One data breach by examining how the incident occurred, the vulnerabilities involved, and the broader implications for cybersecurity practices. Through this project, I evaluated organizational weaknesses, data security concerns, and incident response failures. This artifact demonstrates my understanding of cybersecurity incidents and my ability to analyze real-world cyber threats from both technical and investigative perspectives.
