My favorite part of the CyberOps conference had to be interacting with the other cyber security students that I have not met\/ spoke too before. When I first when there, I was a little nervous to interact with the other students because I felt we may not have a lot in common with each other. However, it was the exact opposite, I felt comfortable in the environment I was in and even got to know them more. At first, I sat with my friend Sebastian, but eventually more people came to sit at our table which sparked conversation. After a while I pulled out my computer and started to work on the Capture the Flag activity we started in class. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely attend another one. It was good to talk to new people who also share the same interest in cybersecurity as me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is daily life as an Intern at these companies? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, my experience was very informational, and I feel as though I have a better idea of where I want to work in terms of a type of company. NASA was the main company that stood out to me, and I liked how they didn’t require any specific level of skills or experience from their interns. The average workday for a NASA intern would mainly revolve around shadowing and helping with projects and learning as the project goes along. I also took interest in NWIC Atlantic, I got to have a deeper conversation about IT and cybersecurity. At first the person at the table asked me what the most important part of cyber security was, and I responded and said the money. We both laughed and he went on to explain that its more so about the impact, but we both still agreed that the money was still important.<\/p>\n\n\n
