After reviewing Module 1 give your view of what you thought cybersecurity was before you enrolled in this class and after completing module 1. Search entries or author Unread    Subscribed (https:// Micah Galvan (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3941514) Sep 11, 2023  Before I enrolled in this class, what I thought cybersecurity was that cybersecurity is the defense against cyberthreats for systems connected to the internet, including their data, software, and hardware. To prevent unwanted access to servers and other electronic systems, both individuals and businesses employ this. Cybersecurity can offer an effective defense against malicious assaults intended to gain access to, alter, delete, destroy, or extort sensitive data and systems belonging to a business or person. Security measures are essential in preventing cyberattacks that try to take down or impair a system or device's functionality. (https:// Swar Bay (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4267653) Sep 12, 2023  Before enrolling in this course, I viewed cybersecurity as only hacking, counter-hacking and viruses. However, after completing module 1, I learned that cybersecurity is about taking every step to prevent data being stolen, breached, or deleted. I learned that cybersecurity concerns begin at the internal level with employees as they are the primary target for hackers and

1/4/24, 10:04 AM Topic: Weekly World View : Module 1 https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/discussion_topics/7194811 2/10 outside threats to get into the system. I also learned about different methods of attack that a hacker might use. (http Ryker Wellnitz (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4124160) Sep 14, 2023  Learning just how much the employee also has to do to be safe from "cyber threats" was the biggest thing I learned. I didn't realize how much the employee really needs to be vigilant about staying safe and keeping up on training. (https:// Micah Mcclellan (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3946822) Sep 13, 2023  Prior to this class, I thought cybersecurity was about securing the cyber world. I thought cyber security was about keeping yourself and your data safe across computer networks. After completing module 1 I still think the same thing about cybersecurity. (https:// Ryker Wellnitz (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4124160) Sep 14, 2023  The biggest difference between my understanding of cybersecurity before and now is how much of a process setting up and maintaining cybersecurity is. I already knew that setting up cybersecurity takes time and it is important to hire professionals, but I didn't realize how important it is to maintain it. Maintaining cybersecurity means employee training on the latest cybersecurity threats, newer protection methods, routine checks, etc. (http Luis Iglesias (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/638135) Sep 14, 2023  Hi Ryker, I think it's worth noting that there are just a few events where more security, leads too much issues , leads to bad human practice, leads to worst security. The classic is businesses using bad password policies that drive people to writing their passwords.

1/4/24, 10:04 AM Topic: Weekly World View : Module 1 https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/discussion_topics/7194811 3/10 (https:// Noah Gavina (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3991326) Sep 14, 2023  To my understanding before cybersecurity is often a field that is always present. From my understanding now, it is in fact always present, even in less professional/less business oriented things like personal life for some people. From what I learned from the video, the internet is effectively always going to have some degree of risk, and that the focus of cybersecurity from what I interpret it as from the video, is mitigating the risks as much as possible. The risks cannot be truly removed completely as doing so requires very immense measures and authentication that although you can use it, you would effectively be giving up a decent chunk of information to whoever is regulating it to know you are the one using it. That being said most can make things intended to make it more safe and not as possibly vulnerable, whether it be educating users how to be safe such as to avoid giving away too much personal information and/or built in things some companies try to manage like anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Overall, cybersecurity is an important thing to be aware of in daily life due to how bad the effects of not practicing it at all/safe enough for oneself can have numerous negative implications and/or consequences. (https:// Penelope Vicuna (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3813555) Sep 14, 2023  After reviewing Module 1, I understand that cybersecurity is more than what meets the eye. I learned that there are layers to security, from securing software to network security to physical security. I learned that threat actors can be external and internal. Their motives can be everything from unintentional to financially motivated to politically affiliated to simply wanting revenge. The social engineering unit was the most interesting to me. Where I worked, we had lots of efforts made to combat phishing because of how harmful it can be. (http tony Londono (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3165869) Sep 17, 2023  Hi Penelope, At the different companies I have worked at I also have seen efforts to combat phishing by exposing what the effect of it could be. We get trainings to complete annually or quarterly. We get "fake" phishing emails that we have to be vigilant of and report. I work in the health

1/4/24, 10:04 AM Topic: Weekly World View : Module 1 https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/discussion_topics/7194811 4/10 industry; I get to see how levels of security are implemented against cyber-attacks. Having so much access to health records as well as medical systems, I see how hospitals and medical staff have to follow rules about network usage. At times it seems excessive, but many do not see the potential of being attacked by both an internal and external source. (https:// Luis Iglesias (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/638135) Sep 14, 2023  My first thought of cybersecurity was firewall network security for devices. Now learning more about security and how it is so important to protect incoming and outgoing network traffic. They essentially act as protective between a private internal network and the public internet. It’s very scary that one breach can expose your personal information to millions of people. These breaches have a big strong financial impact on people and companies. Security and safety consulate to many things including financial data, consistent housing, and unauthorized access and theft. Cybersecurity helps protect us from hackers and malicious malware attacks. (https:// Nick Carrieri (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4420208) Sep 15, 2023  Cyber security means just protecting your data from unwanted intrusions. Anti-virus, malware, and rootkit scanners like Malwarebytes or Kaspersky should be layered on top of each other. Educating anyone who is allowed to access your data on social engineering and proper password practices as well as any other security concerns related to the specific network is a good idea. (https:// Luis Medina (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3630869) Sep 15, 2023  One thing that I have learned is the many precautions there are with security that I did not bother to think about. Something as simple as a reception desk is actually a security measure to ensure that people that are not supposed to be in the building can not enter. Another thing I learned is how easy it is to fall for malicous links especially when in the workplace. You think you can trust your coworkers to know the same as you and not share malicous files with you.

1/4/24, 10:04 AM Topic: Weekly World View : Module 1 https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/discussion_topics/7194811 5/10 (http Macy Lane (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3942946) Sep 16, 2023  I agree with you, there are many precautions that need to be taken in order to keep ourselves safe from cybercriminals. I also agree with you 100% you can't really depend or trust your coworkers because we don't know what their true intentions are. (https:// Maria Pina (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4291833) Sep 15, 2023  I had never thought about the terrifying thought experiment as described in the video. I'm learning a lot about cybersecurity, but it's easy to oversimplify it by describing the deletion of data, spreading of viruses, or stealing of information - it's also the infrastructure and procedures that keep these systems in place. (https:// Humberto Lopez (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3914754) Sep 15, 2023  My thoughts about cybersecurity before watching the video are similar to the ones in the video. Before i enrolled into this class, my perspective about cybersecurity was finding was to secure network and systems from possible threats. This would include securing devices on the network such as routers, switches, and other end devices. what comes to mind is a layered security, where you fortify every layer from the physical all the way up to the application layer. After watching the video, I understood that cybersecurity is securing any device that has the ability to communicate with other devices and can be susceptible to security threats. Before, I was thinking more about devices that commonly make up a network which are routers, switches, and computer, but did not consider smart tv's, smart car, smart watches and other smart devices. (https:// Katherine Moore (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4424216) Sep 15, 2023  Prior to enrolling in this class, I viewed cybersecurity as having the goal of preventing data from being accessed and manipulated by unauthorized sources. This included things like

1/4/24, 10:04 AM Topic: Weekly World View : Module 1 https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/discussion_topics/7194811 6/10 encryption to prevent manipulation and authorization to control access to the data. After finishing the first module, I still think this is a large part of cybersecurity, but I also think there's a lot more to it. It seems obvious now, but physical security - controlling access to the actual device itself - is another important part of cybersecurity that I hadn't thought of before. Looking at my everyday life, I don't know that I appreciate the importance that cybersecurity plays. I use Google Home and many smart devices, and I (as well as probably most users) take for granted both how much data I am generating that can be exploited and also the sheer number of that, if hacked, could provide access to my home network. With the prevalence of cloud computing as well, it's scary to think about the amount of power that a single company has in ensuring that attackers don't gain access to my passwords, pictures, browsing history, computer files, and all the other personal information. (https:// Victoria Martinez (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4145115) Sep 16, 2023  Before completing this module, my idea of cybersecurity was to ensure the security of device information by constant reinforcement through surveillance and updates to avoid any harm at all costs. After completing this module, I've learned that vulnerability is built into a device, and living in a world where technology is on the rise, constant effort is to be made because an attack can happen at any time. (https:// Macy Lane (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3942946) Sep 16, 2023  As I watched the video above, I gathered some information in regards to how cybersecurity is seen within an outsiders perspective. Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing careers out there and they require delicacy within their line of work. It's crazy to think how people are getting affected by those who commit crimes like cybercrimes. Before taking this class, I relevantly had an idea of what cybersecurity is and the notions which go into it, Its crazy to think you can get hacked by just being in your home using your own computer. By the advancement of technology and intellectual knowledge, it gives hacktivists a greater chance to get your information and use it for their own gain. After completing the module 1 material, I learned the overall basics of what cybersecurity is, how easy it is for individuals to get hacked and how we can take measures to protect ourselves from cybercriminals.

When it came to the 1980s when technology was created everything from phone, computer, trains, cars and etc began taking to each other by using security. It also shows how much it is needed and important to have it. (http Anna Ranjbar (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3927421) Sep 17, 2023  Yes i agree with you that cybersecurity does play a big role within our daily lives and now that technology is rapidly growing there is more scrutiny within how and why cyber attacks happen. Great job on your post! (https:// tony Londono (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3165869) Sep 17, 2023  Module 1 was a great refresher of what I knew about cybersecurity. It was very informative to what other companies have faced when they encounter a security event. I currently work as an IT Contractor for various health organizations nationwide. Part of my job entails ensuring systems are running as intended and kept as secure as possible. Part of my day is to ensure end users are not violating company policy and educate when possible or escalate to their manager. The other part is approving or denying access to resources. Even though we have implemented many security trainings, a secure desk policy, BYOD policies and physical access controls, we still find end users connecting their personal devices in the private network instead of the public network. In some cases, we find them sharing the private network with patients. Some of the unique questions or request I get: Can I connect patient's PS5 to the TV in the room? I need to be able to listen to Spotify when I'm working, can you please add the app as trusted application? I need access to YouTube because is really slow at night? Yesterday, I had a high ranking doctor that was upset that his company issued computer did not allow him to connect a flash drive. I advised that we cannot due to security reasons as well as educating him on the alternatives (cloud) where he could save his files. Just as this week's module taught us, he first started super friendly asking all kinds of questions

He even told the data was so important that it was a life and death situation for a patient. (https:// Anna Ranjbar (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3927421) Sep 17, 2023  Cybersecurity is prevalent to our daily lives and it's an important topic to know and understand. While viewing the video, i notated how important cybersecurity is to those working in the field, and why it's important to keep your devices and everything safe. Cyber attacks can happen at any time and anywhere, and after viewing the materials in Module 1, I came to understand how cyber attacks are bound to happen, what steps we can take to deter it, and cautions needed while using any devices. An example can be being at work and you getting a malicious email with a link. That's one of the ways they can attack your device is the sender pretending to be that company and they would send a link and make you click on that link. From there, thats how cyber criminals are able to obtain your information and other things relevant to that individual. (http Tyler Campos (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3577189) Sep 17, 2023 Edited by Tyler Campos (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3577189) on Sep 17, 2023 at 5:59pm  Even while I was working at a small company as a technician dispatcher, we would always get these phishing, virus, etc. emails that we would hear from IT not to click. They were always vigilant on network security, but every now and then you would get these weird emails I just knew not to click. Then IT would send out saying don't click the link and delete the email. However, some people weren't so lucky and those who clicked the link had the walk of shame to IT to ask for help. It didn't happen regularly, but it happened a lot more than I ever thought it would. (https:// Tyler Campos (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3577189) Sep 17, 2023  Network security is crucial for protecting your personal information like credit cards, passwords, and other critical information. After watching the videos in module, I realized there is a lot more to effective security than it seems. There are seven layers to which security

1/4/24, 10:04 AM Topic: Weekly World View : Module 1 https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/discussion_topics/7194811 9/10 should be built on. However, each layer is built so that in case one fails the others can still possibly stop the incoming threats. Not everyone thinks of how complex our security in everyday items are and what it would be like if they were open networks. Everyone could just take a peek into someone else's life by watching what they do online, see purchases, online posts, and much more personal information. Yet, it still happens to companies and people with strict security standards. Sometimes that person never finds out until it's far too late or maybe they never do. Overall, every company and home should have multiple layers of security to protect sensitive information and assets from incoming threats. (https:// Georgi Nikolov (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/3674914) Sep 17, 2023  Before I enrolled in this class all I knew about cybersecurity was that protects internet connected devices from malicious attacks. I didn't expect that it is so much more than that. (https:// Darlene Canales Gurrola (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4179111) Sep 17, 2023  Before I enrolled in this class, I thought cybersecurity was protecting websites from getting hacked and that only things that were online could get attacked, but after module 1 I now know it's more than that like criminals can physically gain access to information through servers and USBs using various cyber attacks. (https:// Dee Hooks (https://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/1298288/users/4116379) Sep 17, 2023  I thought what most people thought cybersecurity was when I first heard about it. It was virtually all of the show Mr. Robot and finding hackers and bringing them to justice. I know now that this is rare, and cybersecurity is mostly a team of people acting as the white blood cells of companies and keeping the sickness off their network and reducing threats to their daily actions.

Now I realize that cybersecurity is also about individuals protecting themselves online as well. Even as the video states, there are simple things each person can do to make their internet browsing far more safe. Cybersecurity is about overall internet/software safety for all.

By looking at module 1 and watching the video, I learned a lot more things and the importance on cybersecurity.
