After watching the video, write a journal entry about how you think
the media influences our understanding about cybersecurity.

I think that the media gives us some sort of misinformation about cybersecurity in general. Every time you see on tv something about hackers or cyber defenders they seem to throw out many “tech” words that make it seem like a lot is going on. From what I’ve experienced being a student in this major, I see that a lot of cybersecurity is mostly defensive. Hackers in movies and tv are always “hacking mainframes” or “getting past the firewall” when in reality its mostly a lot of preventive measures and monitoring vulnerabilities that is what cybersecurity professionals deal with on a daily basis.
