Researchers can analyze the past breaches and determine the trends in what is attacked. The method of attack can also be taken into account when looking at past breaches. When researchers look at past breaches, they can determine which industries are attacked most frequently. Using the information of what is likely to be attacked, and the method used to attack, we can increase security as needed. Learning from the attackers behavior, researchers may be able to predict how attacks may change and evolve. Knowing how the attackers will try to attack will hopefully reduce the threat of data breaches over all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principle of empiricism makes us use real world data instead of relying on hunches or opinions that could be wrong. This leads to data driven detection of cyber crime and prevents wrong conclusions that might be a detriment. Empiricism also promotes quantifiable results which in turn can help companies implement strategies that work in practice and not just what would sound good on paper. Empiricism is used to study real human behavior and how they interact. As cyber threats evolve, the security has to evolve right along with it. Using real data from attacks we can implement appropriate counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have looked at the categories in\u00a0the NICE Workforce Framework, and have determined which areas are appealing to me. The most appealing one to me is investigation (IN). Working as a online detective and helping to protect people from cybercrimes could be interesting. Criminology was one of my interests, so it might be a good for me. The least appealing category to me is oversight and governance (OG) because I can not really see my self working in a leadership type position. It seems like it would be a lot of responsibility, planning, and paperwork which I am not too interested in as a future career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My number one pick for a career would have to be a designer one-hundred percent. I have been interested in graphic design since middle school, and I am pursuing my major in graphic design right now. Number two pick would probably be a psychologist. I have a little bit of a background in sociology and psychology from high school so I might be somewhat knowledgeable on the matter. For my third and last pick I will go with urban planner. It seems mildly interesting and has a great positive effect on the community, so I might consider a career like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
