Hello, My name is Solen Grossman. I’m currently a student enrolled at Old Dominion University for a Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My planned Cybersecurity career field is Identity and Access Management. IAM is critical to enterprise security, which is a field which strongly desires making processes and systems robust and well designed. I also appreciate how structured the IAM field is and desire to implement solutions that can bring clearly measurable protections for organizational assets. I seek to obtain the needed certifications to be prepared for the tasks required in Identity Access Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also plan on studying into cybersecurity regarding Linux. I strongly believe Linux’s decentralized, open-source, and robust architecture makes it the future of Operating Systems for both business and personal use. Because of this, I desire to learn how Linux-based systems work and use this knowledge to aid in further development of Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
