CYSE 201S Journal Entry #8

Movies, in my opinion, have a significant impact on how people view cybersecurity, but they frequently misunderstand it. Hollywood frequently presents hackers as either evildoers wreaking havoc on the world or as brilliant individuals who can quickly breach any system. Hacking is made to appear slick and easy in films like Hackers and Swordfish, but Mr. Robot is one of the few that accurately depicts some technical aspects. People may develop irrational expectations as a result of these exaggerated depictions, believing that cybersecurity is solely about typing quickly and using dazzling interfaces. Actually, hacking is more about research, patience, and taking advantage of human mistakes. I’ve observed that a lot of individuals either completely underestimate cybersecurity or fear hackers as unstoppable threats as a result of movies. People may be more inclined to take cybersecurity seriously if it is portrayed more realistically.
