Cyber Defense
I love working with computers. All my friends and family knows I like to spend a lot of time working with computers, which allows for a good challenge. The problem is it’s hard with work and kids to find time to play around on the computers. First of all getting time to spend time on the computer is a real challenge. I work 40-50 hours a week at the Fenton Post Office. It is a 30 min drive one way and when I finally arrive home, I am greeted by my wife and kids. Cyber defense as a wonderful field to go into because of the challenges of finding the criminals, It allows me to provide a better living for my family, and the ability to work shorter days and be able to spend time with my family, I will also be able to work from home which will help me to get some of the chores done so my wife doesn’t have to do them by herself. It will also allow me to work indoors since I have spent the last 20 years working outdoors.
Some of the problems I have are getting on the computer, because I have two kids that like to play games, and listen to music on You Tube. When they are not playing games, they are on the computer doing homework. It seems most of the schools now are using computers so both of the kids need time to do their homework on the computer.
I also need to spend time helping my wife with the household chores, which includes cooking, cleaning, and laundry. My wife also works 40-50 hours a week at the Fenton Post Office as a city carrier. So we both need to help one another, with all the necessities, so we can get done faster. We need to spend more quality with the kids. I am hopeful this job will let me work less so we can achieve this.
I chose Cyber Defense so I could work less and make more money. So my wife could retire from work and spend my more time with our children and be able to stay home and take care of the household chores. When I return home we

    The first solution is parents must partially abstain children from technology by limiting children’s screen time according to American Academy of Pediatrics. The reason is that children don’t need technology to learn just as how current icon don’t need technology to bring them to where they are now. Furthermore, even Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple does not fancy his children playing technology. In fact, when iPad first came out, he banned his children from using them. He has an orthodox functional family that have their dinner table talk. He leads by example to all the tech-savvy and ordinary people out there. The pros of this solution is that we can see the fruition of this solution as children without technology are still becoming the future leader. The con is that technology is evolving and it is unsure whether there is life without technology in the future. The solution will work for the time being before technology controls every aspect of our life.…

    I have a multitude of passwords to memorize in an effort to maintain my privacy and security. It is unfortunate that cyber world users must constantly deploy measures to keep their personal information private. Before this class I was certainly aware of the potential dangers that could occur in cyberspace, prevention always has been my goal. I have security protection in place against attacks such as viruses, spam, malware, spyware, and adware and I ensure that the protection is up-to-date as it is essential part of prevention is to remain current. Other security measures an average user may do is to maintain their system is to allow Microsoft Windows to perform automatic updates. These updates can provide additional security measures to the system info structure. Running regular maintenance such as a system defragmentation will keep the system up-to-date and in proper order. The average user should also password protect their personal information. If the wireless network James used had been password protected James would not have had the opportunity to enter the network without first inputting the password.. I would feel violated to know that someone was using my wireless network without my authorization I would be horrified to know that individual was plundering through my private things. Securing a personal computer and a wireless network with a password is extremely important otherwise the system is open and vulnerable toward an attack. Furthermore, James was placing himself at risk by entering an unknown unsecured network. When I review the network settings on my wireless network I am able to view data, websites and activity going through my network. I enjoy this feature because I am able to see what my children are doing when they are online. I teach my boys how to protect themselves while online. In the future I plan to remain aware of any potential treats and I will review any new…

    The most important thing that young people need to do is put the technology down! Turn the T.V. off, turn the computer off, and turn the cell phone off; not just on silent or vibrate, but completely off. If it’s still too tempting, put it in a drawer, or put it in a different room. The urge to check social media sites is going to be strong, but fight through it. Don’t give in. By eliminating the technology trap, we allow our minds to slow down and focus on only the matter at hand. Much more will be accomplished by excluding distracting technology from daily homework sessions.…

    Modern distributed data communication systems are comprised of hardware and software that facilitate the creation, manipulation, and transmission of data across multiple computers, networks, and servers. With so many components that make up these complex systems come numerous vulnerabilities that can be exploited to compromise the integrity or availability of the data they were designed to support. These multiple attack vectors require a multi-tiered defense strategy, known as defense in-depth (Stewart, Tittel & Chapple, 2013).…

    In today’s modern world computer networks are the basic source of information exchange for all types of businesses. Different technologies are used within the context of networking depending on the requirements of an organization. Ethernet is off course the best technology for the “local area network” (LAN), but when the organization spread their business to much longer distances (cities) then WAN technologies need to be deployed to keep the business running. The selection of an appropriate WAN technology that can ensure efficiency and security of the business network is off course a challenging task for a network specialist.…

    The increasing amount of time children are spending on computers at home and school has raised questions about how the use of computer technology may make a difference in their lives—from helping with homework to causing depression to encouraging violent behavior. This article provides an overview of the limited research on the effects of home computer use on children’s physical, cognitive, and social development. Initial research suggests, for example, that access to computers increases the total amount of time children spend in front of a television or computer screen at the expense of other activities, thereby putting them at risk for obesity. At the same time, cognitive research suggests that playing computer games can be an important building block to computer literacy because it enhances children’s ability to read and visualize images in three-dimensional space and track multiple images simultaneously. The limited evidence available also indicates that home computer use is linked to slightly better academic performance.…
