The first ePortfolio entry is about why I am interested in cybersecurity technology. There are a few reasons that I will dive into, the first reason being my major, and what my future job is going to be. With my major being game graphics and design, it is important to know how to use cybersecurity technology to its fullest. While I want to primarily focus on how to port animations to characters and create events, I also should know how to provide at least a buffer for my work to help protect it. That being said, cybersecurity is so much more than just providing some protection for simple projects. Cybersecurity is used nowadays to stop cyberattacks that can be aimed at any type of sensitive information. This could be employee information for companies, or even trying to extort money from different users online all around the world using viruses such as ransomware or adware. If I were to at least know the basics of cybersecurity technology and the process behind it, I could use this knowledge to more than just my simple projects I enjoy working on, and could study how this form of technology provides protection from these other attacks. A final reason why I am interested in cybersecurity is the amount of different types of cybersecurity. There are many different kinds of this security with some examples being data security, mobile security, even network security. Taking all of the different kinds of cybersecurity, it is everywhere that has a similarity or a reliance on the internet itself. Because of how unsafe the internet can be, cybersecurity has to constantly be adapting to new and old situations in order to not only be effective, but provide individuals with proper protection. This is why I am so interested in cybersecurity, with the reason behind it, the personal feeling of protection, and how cybersecurity needs to constantly be improving in order to be up to date.
