There was a club that was hosted by one of my teachers and encouraged students to join. At the time, I still did not know what I wanted to major in and thought nothing of it and I had two plans for post-graduation. My first plan was to do the business major route and hopefully end up as a product manager, but I realized that it was not something I really wanted to do. My second, and last resort was to enlist in the Navy. As the end of the first semester of my senior year was ending, I knew I had to prioritize picking a major to submit all of my applications. It wasn\u2019t until I talked to my teacher about the cybersecurity club that it sparked my interest. From what I remember, he told me that cybersecurity was a rapidly growing field; as technology continues to grow, the opportunity for cybercrime does as well. Today, every company needs a cybersecurity department to protect themselves from threats against data, confidentiality, and malware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jjcybersec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34145\/2024\/04\/IMG_0305-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-382\" style=\"width:277px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jjcybersec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34145\/2024\/04\/IMG_0305-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jjcybersec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34145\/2024\/04\/IMG_0305-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jjcybersec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34145\/2024\/04\/IMG_0305-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jjcybersec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34145\/2024\/04\/IMG_0305-1228x1536.jpg 1228w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jjcybersec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34145\/2024\/04\/IMG_0305.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, my name is Jacob Rivera and I first heard about cybersecurity in my senior year of high school.
