I am choosing to use Cybersecurity, Hacking, and Digital Identity as my resource, as it is becoming increasingly important as technology progresses to get a good understanding of these topics. The key ideas of Cybersecurity, Hacking, and Digital Identity involves understanding how you can protect yourself online by knowing what kind of attacks and defenses are out there. It also describes in detail what personal information of yours is available and how it can be used online.

Guiding questions:

Why is cybersecurity important?

Cybersecurity is very important, especially nowadays when most things we do rely on being connected to the internet or some sort of electronic device. Without cybersecurity jobs and protocols, hackers can easily acquire someone’s personal data, or mess with an entire business causing disruption to their sales or hurting their reputation. Our national security and public infrastructure are also heavily reliant on cybersecurity to keep these services running smoothly.

Where do cybersecurity risks exist?

Cybersecurity risks can be found in any digital system that stores data online. These risks can also increase based on flaws in a system that can spread if they are connected like in a supply chain or a government sector.

Real-world connection: Knowing how to protect myself and many of my accounts online is something I take great care of, because if you don’t, you are basically leaving the front door open for people who wish to steal your information. If an account were to get hacked due to poor security, it is something you need to act on quick even if it takes a lot of time. For example, I know someone who got their Xbox account hacked because they didn’t have a lot of security on it. Eventually they got it back, but it took months of trying to prove it was really their account.

Reflection on ethics: When it comes to your account safety, both the individual and the company you are giving your information too are responsible for it. Companies specifically have the responsibility to be transparent with the user and to keep your information safe and only use it when authorized and is absolutely needed. Meanwhile, the individual is the one responsible for using as many security measures as the company allows, making strong passwords, and being aware of potential issues that pop up. This shared responsibility provides comfort and trust between individuals and the company so that we can enjoy ourselves safely and not need to worry about attacks on our digital and real-world identities.
