What is Cybersecurity, Technology, Society? This course was for those selected to be apart of the Cybersecurity Living Learning Community (LLC) at Old Dominion University. It provided an interdisciplinary exploration of cybersecurity through the lenses of technology, ethics, business, criminology, and the social sciences. This course examined how cyber threats intersect with cultural values, legal frameworks, and global systems. Students completed assignments such as cybersecurity infographics, video reflections, weekly journal entries, discussion boards and a final analytical paper. These experiences strengthened my understanding of how cybersecurity operates across disciplines and aided in my development as a cybersecurity professional.
Discussion Board: The NIST Framework
Instructions : From your readings of pages 1 – 21 of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework., what benefit can organizations gain from using this framework, and how would you use it at your future workplace?
Submission:
The NIST framework can benefit organizations through creating structure and organization, I believe the most beneficial aspect of this framework is its versatility. Overall, this framework seems to be useful when it comes to helping an organization choose which direction it wants to go in whether that be its security, sales, etc. It would also be a benefit to organizations because it increases how safe its customers feel which can lead to attracting more customers. To double down on that, I feel that as this framework continues to develop and improve it will help ensure the safety of cyber related activities and endeavors. I would use the framework in my future workplace to aid in cyber security risk management. For example, say my company has recently had a breach occur, I would use the framework for guidance and ways to quickly recover and ensure what happened doesn’t happen again.
