It demonstrates my ability to assess threats that are being sent to employees within the environment as well as coming up with solutions in case the employees interact with a phishing attempt. With added analysis on other features that I did not know about before that could contribute to protecting against these suspicious emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Password Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!selectors.core.file.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/julian-samonte-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41192\/2026\/05\/Password-Policy-Improvement-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Password-Policy-Improvement.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-51a13dab-95ef-4f46-a39b-25c6ae56ccda\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/julian-samonte-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41192\/2026\/05\/Password-Policy-Improvement-1.pdf\">Password-Policy-Improvement<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/julian-samonte-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41192\/2026\/05\/Password-Policy-Improvement-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-51a13dab-95ef-4f46-a39b-25c6ae56ccda\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This artifact is another document that I created while working in my internship.

I needed to take into consideration time employees have and how much time they are willing to put into this training. Making it too much of an inconvenience or time commitment for them will make it less effective. This demonstrates my ability to improve the human firewall by educating employees, creating another defense layer to our environment while coming up with ideas to make the plan as effective as possible. As 74% of cyber attacks are caused by human error, it is important to mitigate this as much as we can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vulnerability management is the work of identifying and addressing security weaknesses that a system has.
