Course Material

Displayed below, is a writeup on SCADA systems which is also known as (Supervisory control and data acquisition systems), these are the systems that are responsible for administering critical infrastructure task, and are very important for a nations daily task. Below I cover the vulnerabilities that are associated with theses systems, and how they can be critical risk to society as a whole.

The second artifact below, displays the importance of human factors, within the cybersecurity realm, and how detrimental it could be to a business. I further, dive into the way I would deal with this issue, if I where running my own cybersecurity business.
