The way the media influences our understanding of cybersecurity in that it portrays it as just
hacking. In that most media that does include anything cyber related it is mostly just about
hacking, and a dramatization of the process of hacking. Most movies and shows that include a
hacker shows a person going through the process of hacking in a few hours or in a night, and
while some instances of hacking may take that amount of time what\u2019s often being depicted in
these forms of media is a complex hack that would take a experienced hacker a few days or even
months to set up and execute. Since that\u2019s all that\u2019s normally shown most people might believe
that all cybersecurity entails is just hacking, when it\u2019s a varied field that has multiple paths for
one to take. While there are depictions of cyber security that do show more to it, especially today
with most media that does show hacking that it\u2019s not just the computer one might get hacked on,
everything in their house is a tool a hacker can use to their advantage. To conclude, the way the
media presents cybersecurity is a double edged sword, in that while most media does just focus
on one aspect of the whole cybersecurity field it\u2019s arguably one of the most important to show
since it can show what can be exploited to the mass and help prevent incidents were hacking
might take place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
