After watching the digital forensics video, I suddenly realized how much this profession is aligned with the social sciences. Teo’s career journey shows that understanding human behaviors is just as important as understanding the technology. Digital forensics specialists are not simply file recovery experts. Digital forensics investigators are looking to discover the “why” behind their actions, very similar to a psychologist or a sociologist. I thought it was cool how Teo hadn’t planned to enter the field of digital forensics, but that his interest in figuring problems out and how people behaved eventually brought him to this career path. His journey shows how a career in digital forensics requires technological skills and an understanding of human beings, so this was a good example of the intersection of technology and social sciences.

It also ties into transaction cost economics, because now customers have to…

After watching the video, I noticed how much the media is in cybersecurity. Movies and TV shows sometimes exaggerate hacking, making it look very flashy and instant, but in real life, it usually requires patience, skill, and knowing what you are doing, which requires a lot of knowledge. In movies and shows, usually the hackers…

When the system says your password is too weak, but you’ve already used all the ones you can remember.” This shows the struggle of password fatigue, where users create weak or repeated passwords because remembering complex ones is too difficult.  A human-centered approach would promote password managers or alternative authentication methods to ease the burden….
