How do engineers make cyber networks safer?

Engineers make cyber networks safer by implementing various security measures such as firewalls, encryption, multi-factor authentication and frequent security updates. By doing this it helps prevent cybercriminals from taking vulnerable information from organizations or individuals and can make companies feel more safe and secure. They also conduct regular vulnerability assessments and testing to identify and address any weaknesses in the network.

Here at ODU we use multi-factor authentication everyday when logging into canvas to do homework. This helps make sure that the only person logging into their account is the account owner. This is important because there is personal information on canvas so having a multi -factor authentication can help protect individuals from attackers. Additionally, by providing frequent security updates and regular vulnerability assessments we can feel ore secure and know that our information is safe from cybercriminals.

Criminal justice make in the day was very much all in person, but with the growth of technology, the amount of cyber criminal has increased significantly. This causes cybersecurity and criminal justice to have to work together. This overlap relates to other topics discussed in this class, such as computer science and cybersecurity, as these fields provide the tools necessary to prevent cybercrime. By these two fields working together can create a powerful duo in preventing crime and cybercriminals. Additionally, the overlap also relates to psychology as understanding the motives and behavior of cybercriminals is important in developing effective prevention strategies. Many cybercriminal have the same patterns and or behavior’s, which can help us to prevent attacks before they happen. By doing this can help make the internet safer and more secure.
