Week 18 Reflection: What Changed About Your Definition of Cybersecurity?

Use your final Network and Security Dossier and five-artifact portfolio.

Write 200 to 300 words, or record an equivalent explanation, responding to this prompt:

At the start of the course, what did you think cybersecurity was? Which evidence from your work changed that definition?

Include:

• one ethics or authorization lesson
• one authentication or human-factor lesson
• one system or hardening lesson
• one data/cryptography lesson
• one command-line lesson
• one networking or packet-analysis lesson
• one example where you learned not to overclaim from incomplete evidence

Finish with these two statements:

The defensive habit I would carry into Cybersecurity II is ________.

The question I now ask before touching a system is ________.

Do not grade yourself on how many tools you used. Focus on whether you can explain a system, evidence, boundary, and defensive decision more precisely than you could in Week 1.
