I am interested in Cybersecurity because I find that working and protecting people’s life goes deep within technology. I grew up on a computer for most of my life playing video games for hours upon hours, and one day I had something pop up on the screen which said, “your computer is at risk.” I was curious and wanted to know what that meant so I spent my time looking up ways to fix and prevent that from happening. That is when I realized that I have a fascination with figuring out ways to protect and create protection for computers. As the years went on, Cybersecurity is now my major and focus because of my experience. There are many Majors at ODU that relate to cybersecurity, and one is computer science. Computer science teaches students how to use the computer and compute things such as code which is a vital part of cybersecurity. It is also important because you learn more about the computer which will help you understand the terms better. Computer science also teaches anybody the basic thinking skills to develop how you take action upon a specific problem. Another Major offered at ODU is criminal justice. Criminal justice is important to a cybersecurity major because it informs somebody on what the crime is and how it is punishable. Cybersecurity people need to know the specific crimes to know which action to take against the person doing that specific crime. With criminal justice we can determine how to react against the person doing that crime and create a something to prevent it from happening again. Another big Major that assists cybersecurity is Information Technology. This major is vital because it allows us to understand and use computers to create ways to operate more quickly and take in more information at a faster pace. This is important because if somebody is hacking, we must figure out a way to quickly stop them and block them from accessing information that can harm a company or have a company go out of business. I also feel that you should have a pretty comfortable background in math because I feel as though it is important to have a background in how to complete a full process while critically thinking. Critically thinking is important because when you are defending against a cyber-attack, you need to act quickly and not make a mistake that will harm the company.
