In CYSE 201S, we complete journals to answer specific questions and reinforce our knowledge of what we learned in a particular module.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Journal #1<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Review the NICE Workforce Framework. Are there certain areas that you <\/span><\/strong>would want to focus your career on? Explain which areas would appeal the <\/span><\/strong>most to you and which would appeal the least.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The work role category in cybersecurity that appeals to me the most is the design and development (DD) role. The overall scope of this work role category is developing, coding, and testing secure technology systems, which is what I would like to do because I am interested in a career that involves programming. The work role that appeals to me the most in the design and development category is the career of a secure software developer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The work role category I am least interested in is the oversight and governance (OG) category. I am interested in this area of expertise, but out of all the other categories, this one places last for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Journal #2<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Explain how the principles of science [Empiricism, Determinism, <\/span><\/strong>Parsimony, Objectivity, etc.] relate to cybersecurity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The principles of science can relate to cybersecurity in many ways, ranging from morals to design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting with relativism, this can relate to cybersecurity because technological systems can lead to the development of improved technology or concepts. Many things in our society rely on technology or cybersecurity to function properly. Objectivity relates to cybersecurity because it helps scientists make crucial cyber-related decisions without bias. Parsimony can help keep the design of security systems simple, yet effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Empiricism can emphasize relying on observable or physical data in cybersecurity. Ethical neutrality can come into play when scientists are studying cybercrimes but still protecting the rights of those involved in the case. Determinism in cybersecurity can help scientists understand why individuals commit certain cybercrimes. Lastly, with skepticism, scientists can consistently question certain data, cybersecurity policies, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Journal #3<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Visit<\/span> PrivacyRights.org to<\/span> see the types of publicly available information <\/span><\/strong>about data breaches. How might researchers use this information to <\/span><\/strong>study breaches? Enter a paragraph in your journal.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
On the privacyrights.org website, statistics such as how many data breach notifications have been tracked and reviewed, how many individuals have been affected by data breaches, the different types of data breaches that have occurred, etc., are displayed. Researchers can use this information to study breaches by determining which breaches occur the most, where these breaches are likely to occur, how many individuals have been affected by these breaches, and more. The information this website provides can help researchers understand specific aspects of these data breaches, offering a useful way to study these crimes and potentially uncover the motive behind each breach.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Journal #4<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Review Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs and explain how each level relates to your experiences with technology. Give specific examples of how your digital experiences relate to each level of need.<\/strong><\/p>\n
