So it's been awhile. Yes, it has. Where did I go? Well, school and more school with a start of my own little business that I work from home. So I went and got more busy, hahaha.
As I am closing out my degree, for my new readers, its a Master of Science degree in Cybersecurity. Yeah - whoa momma! Its funny when I tell people that they look at me weird. Not sure why. Is it a girl thing? Hahahaha. Felicity Smoak is my hero! Just saying.
But then there is the, "what did I get myself into", that I ask myself weekly. Truthfully, it has been the most challenging yet rewarding experience. I have learned more than I thought possible. With that being said, I am in my last two course right now. This course CYBR 650 is all about current trends in cybersecurity, so why not blog it! And rightfully so.
Annnnd then there is a question of why should you read my blog. Well, why shouldn't you? I am super fun...probably not entirely relevant, but I am! And funny. At least in my own world. But really its more about bringing attention to certain issues AND hopefully that will inspire critical thinking on your part.
See, while the world goes round, there is many problems we face and things we experience as our technology progresses. Things that need fresh eyes and new minds to conquer. That maybe a 16 year old person that sits down to read my blog on issues with cybersecurity decides that he/she is going to want to understand more and MAYBE be the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates in a new age with new issues. Who knows really. But then anything is possible right?
So why me and not read someone more fancy on the Internet? Hey - real person here too! I got ideas, questions and issues that need some attention too! Joking aside, I also have experience. I been working in IT for 16 years. OK. Enough with the old person jokes. No, I didn't grow up with a smart phone or the Internet..thank goodness. But I have ran IT Helpdesk, built gaming systems, been a technical trainer and writer, done many IT audits, operations analyst, A/V equipment, built over a million dollar IT budgets, yada yada. Most of this was done in academia, but then there was a few years in the corporate world. So its nice to have a bit of both from where I am standing. That's why me. Why you need to read my blog. I have much in the way of perspective ;)
So standby, read my blog when it posts, think about things critically, and then...discuss. All topics should be related or about cybersecurity in some way. I also like to talk about cyber warfare and information warfare. And yes, those are different. They are not the same...maybe we should talk about that one day..hmmm.
Until then, stay safe out there..
