I am interested in cybersecurity because it is a part of my everyday life. Although I am not hoping to pursue a career in cybersecurity, it is important to know the basics so that I can protect myself while using technology. This class will help me to learn more about the technology I am using and how I should protect myself and others while online. I am on my phone and laptop a lot throughout the day and to know about the different threats and how to protect myself will help to put my mind at peace. Also, technology is always changing which means there are always more precautions that I could be taking to stay safe and protected from online threats. I am also interested in learning about the different types of possible crime related to cybersecurity so that I am aware of the different types of threats that may come my way. Another reason I am interested in cybersecurity is because I am always looking to learn about new things. Not only is this class a new concept, but it is something that I believe everyone should learn about. Everyone should know how to protect themselves online. This class may not be a passion of mine, but it is something that will stay with me throughout my life. I also know that cybersecurity is becoming more useful as more technology is created which means it will be an important part of everyone’s future. I also think it is interesting to learn about different types of protection against cyber crimes. Learning the different levels of security and how each one works will be interesting to me. Overall, although this is part of a requirement for me, I am excited to learn more about cybersecurity and how what I do online can affect me.
