Why are you interested in cybersecurity technology?
Throughout high school, I was never really certain on what I wanted to study once I got to college. My parents were constantly mentioning subjects that they think would be interesting to me and one of those topics was cybersecurity. I knew almost nothing about it at the time, but after doing some research, I found out it may be something I would be really interested in. One of the main reasons why I am interested in cybersecurity technology because learning how to defend and help companies and businesses seems like a very interesting topic that I would be interested in learning more about it. After taking my previous cybersecurity class last semester, it has made me more interested in certain fields of cybersecurity such as helping to stop cyber attacks. I also am interested in assessing companies and businesses security and testing the strength of them, by doing this, I will be able to help strengthen their networks, systems and improve their overall services. Another reason I am so interested in cybersecurity technology is because I have someone I know within my family that has a major in cybersecurity and he has worked for NASA and now works as a private contactor. He has shown me what he does as a private contractor and what he used to do for NASA and it seems intriguing to me and it is definitely something I would like to dive deeper into and learn more about it. After talking to him, one thing in particular that I enjoyed and found interesting was that there is a new threat almost every day and you need to learn how to quickly solve them. I would enjoy this because it would keep things enjoyable because everyday would be a different threat we would have to be trying to prevent and that is another reason why I am interested in cybersecurity technology. After graduating from college, I will be interested in doing this type of work for a government organization such as NASA, NSA, or the CIA.
