Entry #2: Principles of Science to Cybersecurity

Prompt: Explain how the principles of science [Empiricism, Determinism, Parsimony, Objectivity etc.,] relate to cybersecurity?

The principles of science relate to cybersecurity because both are built on the need to collect information accurately and informatively.  For example, objectivity is a crucial principle for science as it allows the facts to be clearly presented without bias involved. Bias can alter and interpret facts in a completely new way and occurs in almost everything the public consumes. Objectivity in cybersecurity will allow a direct statement of facts and will allow those to find a problem without distractions. Cybersecurity must have these clear functions in order to properly work and protect the information it is securing, keeping the project’s integrity and purpose. Without these principles, science and cybersecurity would be deeply misinterpreted and dangerous. 

Entry #1: Looking at NICE Workforce Framework

Prompt: Review the NICE Workforce Framework. Are there certain areas that you would want to focus your career on? Explain which areas would appeal the most to you and which would appeal the least.

After reviewing the NICE Workforce Framework I have discovered an interest in Cyberspace Effects and Cyberspace Intelligence. I lean towards the workforce field that involves creating analysis of cyberspace information. All-source analysis and collection management appeal to me the most as I would like to explore planning and developing an operational environment for the sake of collecting relevant information. Along with ensuring that platforms are performing properly as described with target network analysis. Oversight and governance is not a section of cybersecurity I would consider. I am not interested in the redistributing legislation as described in Cybersecurity Legal Advice. Similarly the idea of keeping a project regulated within the law and studying that law like with Privacy Compliance.
