- Strong analytical and diagnostic skills
When faced with complex problems, I approach them with a critical and logical mindset. I know how to break down intricate issues into manageable components, which helps me identify root causes and formulate effective solutions.
One example is my Digital Forensics course. We were given a mock case to performed a forensic analysis on a laptop and cell phone of a high ranking US government official.
One other example from my digital forensics class is meticulously examining the intricate landscape of digital crime, considering factors like cyber threats, data breaches, and emerging technologies. This enabled me to identify areas of focus for the lab’s operations, ensuring alignment with law enforcement objectives. Here is my written report that outlines the plan for a computer forensics lab
The final example for this skill is my project on VPNs for my Windows System Management and Security class. My strategic approach to integrating and managing VPNs exemplifies my adeptness at leveraging strong analytical and diagnostic skills. This artifact highlights my capacity to navigate complex technological domains, develop practical solutions, and contribute to elevating security and efficiency within an enterprise context.
- Proficient researching ability
Over the summer I took a Interdisciplinary Concepts class. My skill in critical thinking has been enchanced since that class. This class has enabled me to approach research with a discerning eye, ensuring the information I gather is reliable and relevant. A few examples of my knack for researching is my Social Engineering research in IDS 300W. The topic that was “How do social engineering techniques exploit human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to computer systems”.
