During CIS608, I wrote on many different security
topics. The topics included training
against phishing attacks, risk management, data breaches and risk management,
wireless security, employee termination, training, acceptable use policies, the
Target data breach and Google Glass.
During the semester I tried to write on a topic in the class or
something that was big in the news at the time.
As the semester started the two biggest topics that I wrote about was
the security breach at Target and Google Glasses. The other weeks I tried to find more
information on a topic of choice from the weekly reading. I chose these topics so I could learn more on
the topic.
The bulk of the sources that I chose for my blog postings
came from CNet and CNN. These are areas
that I frequent so during my daily reading I would typically find a topic at
some point during the week that correlated with a topic within the weekly
readings. The remaining sources were
found by performing searches via search engine (Google). The blogs that I wrote may or may not be of
use to future students because my topics generally followed the news at the
time. This could potentially still be
applicable in the future due to the content more than the example. The lessons learned that I found about doing
this weekly blog was to be more aware of security topics in the news. When reading the news daily I was always
interested in any topic that may assist me in completing my blog
assignment. The side effect was that I
got to learn/apply the topics better through research.
