My time at Tidewater and Old Dominion has reinforced and updated the foundational skills I acquired through the military and need for a successful career in Cybersecurity. As a discipline cybersecurity exists to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber-attacks, ensuring critical information systems operate with a measure of integrity and maintain availability. This means acquiring knowledge in networking and network architecture, operating systems, virtual machines, cloud security, blockchain security, IoT, and ethical hacking topics. Not only to develop the computer forensics skills required to investigate security breaches and recover data, but to be able to develop and implement security, access, administrative controls, and policies that are the core of network defense. All while staying abreast of new technologies, techniques, security standards and practices designed to defeat evolving threats.
