The greatest experience that I have with the world of cybersecurity outside of my education at ODU is in obtaining my CompTIA Security+ certification. This was something I had to vigorously study for and pursue, and I was only successful thanks to my dedication and knowledge of cybersecurity, which helped me not only succeed, but pass the exam on my first attempt. I have also had expectance with cybersecurity by discussing the field with my father, who has been in cybersecurity since before I was born, working in the US navy. Discussing cybersecurity concepts with him as I learned of them not only cemented the concepts, but also introduced me to new things that some of my classes either glossed over or didn’t get into.
