Week 16 assignment
Through learning this course, I have learned a couple of key elements. I have acquired an extensive understanding of the security issues and the current best practices in several applicative domains that are ranging from enterprise to the military. I have learned about the various structure metrics to manage cybersecurity engineering. This has widened my scope of understating the cybersecurity in the engineering sector and how it is essential. Through learning this course, I have found that in the emerging security threats and available countermeasures concerning the recent network and computing technologies.
Another important concept that I learned from the course is competency and capability gaps for cybersecurity engineering. In this, I learned about the various common gaps in cybersecurity are unpreparedness, unknown threats, lack of monitoring, open to fraud, and incident handling. This is very harmful, and through taking this course, it has helped me in acquiring knowledge on how to deal with such problems. I learned another key element, which is cybersecurity engineering needs. The course has been helpful because it helped me in understanding more about the various ways of improving cybersecurity engineering performance.
The course has enabled me to gain much knowledge depth and awareness that involves layered authentication, access controls, and encryption, security operation caters, and detection of infrastructure attacks are very complementary techniques are cases. I have learned the various ways of preventing malicious hacking activities. This includes creating complex and robust passwords, using a unique password for the very account, using a password manager, and advising people never to give anyone their password. Lastly, I have learned about fundamental cybersecurity principles.
