Throughout the period of September 14th, through to December 6th in 2023, I had the
opportunity and privilege to be an Intern at the Brook Crossing Innovation Lab. I had taken the
Cyber Security Internship Course fully expecting to be given an opportunity for an internship out
of the gate through the course, but I was sadly mistaken and had to apply for numerous different
internships. I was fortunate enough to receive an email regarding an opportunity for internship
through Old Dominion University and the course itself for the Brooks Crossing Innovation Lab
and I gladly jumped at the chance. I am so greatly appreciative of the opportunity I was given
and the people I worked with during these past three months.
Right before the internship was to start I was tasked with coming up with a few learning
outcomes or objectives that I had hoped to achieve during my time, as well as a memorandum of
agreement between me and my future employer. The first of the objectives and outcomes I came
up with were learning the abundant cyber technology that was available to me. The second being
the opportunity to gain teaching and working experience in a professional environment. The third
objective was the opportunity to advance my personal cyber security skills and knowledge. Then
finally was the opportunity to discover new opportunities for future employment through
working with this organization, as they had close relations with other businesses relating to the
cybersecurity field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The below links are the Course Reflections that I wrote during my time with Brooks Crossing I-Labs, and offer an insight into the responsibilities and tasks I worked on with the other Cybersecurity Interns, and how those fit into the objectives and outcomes that I hoped to achieve through the internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
