My major is cyber security, therefore it directly relates to the field of cyber security technology. Within my major, cyber security technology is the core set of tools that are used to ensure that computers, servers, network systems and data are protected against attacks and are not compromised. Strategically planning for and embracing cyber security technology allows networks to efficiently work without delays, intrusions, data loss or problems. In today\u2019s environment, there are numerous threats that can impact a cyber security system. Cyber security technology is used to prevent and respond to threats that can occur within a cloud environment, mobile or phone based networks or wearable devices.

As an example, roughly five years ago a cyber security breach whereby a hacker was able to tap into the Department of Defense security back ground checks of employees and by doing so put our entire national security apparatus at risk. The appropriate proactive use of cyber security technology was needed to ensure that the personal information of these employees was kept secure and confidential as well as ensure that potential enemies to the United States are not able to obtain key information and use it in a way to bride, threaten or over take the country. In closing, cyber security related tool at the core of my major. These tools, processes, practices and skills are the very actions that I will use every day to preform my job. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
