I thought it was very interesting to learn about cyberterrorism and cybercrime. I feel like we never talked about anything like this in any of my classes because technology wasn’t as advanced as it is today. Knowing how advanced it is today and how much companies use some form of sharing or cloud makes it more important than ever to be careful. When it really explained how hard it is to find where and how the hacker is getting into your system was eye opening to me. It really makes you want to be careful what you do online in the office and personally. I was even more surprised to learn that there are thousands of terrorist attacks each year around the world, when I think of terrorist attacks I think of 9/11 rather than cybercrime. I feel like people are trying to unite and become one global market and one currency, but realistically everyone has their own specialty and that it cannot happen.

Hi Rachel,
It’s a very serious business. Many companies spent billions of dollars trying to keep their data safe from cyberterrorism annually.

Rachel,
The more I’ve been in school and going into different businesses, I have found that cyber security is huge for a company. Most people with degrees in Cyber security come out of college with a job and it usually pays very well. I think the way we use our internet is a big problem. Saving passwords on keychain for quicker use is a big example of poor security. One big problem I have been reading about is a new currency that is considered digital gold. It is called bitcoin and there are hackers trying to steal millions. Cyber security can go as far as protecting your assets and personal information.
