Critical thinking skills applied to Cybersecurity are just as important as the technical skills you need to be successful in the field. Asking the right questions, evaluating, and assessing data, identifying assumptions, alternatives, understanding context. helps you to make high-stakes decisions about your organization’s security. Being effective in cybersecurity means cultivating self-awareness that bias can cloud your judgement and that an open mindset breeds flexibility in thinking allowing you to look outside your chosen discipline for insights into complex problems. My exposure to cybersecurity management, philosophy and interdisciplinary research at Old Dominion have broadened my worldview and allowed me to redefine what it means to be a stakeholder in an organization’s cybersecurity. The artifacts below are just a few of the examples that demonstrate mine.
