Cybersecurity, Technology, and Society

The course IT/CYSE 200T offers a foundational understanding of Information Technology and Cybersecurity principles, preparing students for the dynamic world of technology and digital security. This course covers the important components of IT systems, including hardware, software, networking, and databases, while also emphasizing the critical importance of cybersecurity in protecting data and systems from the evolving threat landscape. This dynamic world of technology and digital security can truly be seen in the analytic paper I did ” The Social meaning and Impact of Cybersecurity-Related Technical Systems” Which shows four different aspects of the impact Cybersecurity-Related Systems can have on privacy and surveillance, trust and reliance on technical systems, power dynamics and inequality, and shaping societal norms and behaviors. Attention is given to the way that technologically-driven cybersecurity issues are connected to cultural, political, legal, ethical, and business domains.
