Craig Wilson’s Post

We’re missing a trick. We need to teach computer science earlier, more broadly, and better. If a wider, more diverse group of young people can be convinced that a digital career is right for them, and cyber skills are incorporated into the curriculum from the primary school age, just imagine the potential.

Hello Linkedin, How are you doing? I am looking into graduate programs other than mathematics Master's degree programs. I am thinking about doing a cybersecurity master's degree program, and I found some good universities offer the degree for online study. This way it is flexible so I can work during the day or night then go into class mode when I get home. Arizona State University- Online Master's of Computer Science-Cyber Security https://lnkd.in/d6G-y2uf Old Dominion University- M.S. in Cybersecurity https://lnkd.in/dZh4cZjz Georgetown University- Master's in Cybersecurity Risk Management https://lnkd.in/d44Jw-9v Narrowed it down from my search to these three prospective schools and programs. I think I could be great at cybersecurity mainly due to the fact it would help me in my aspiring career to work in Cryptography or Cryptoanalysis. #masterdegreeprograms #cybersecurity #programminggoals #careergoals #findthatplace

LinkedIn Family 🥳🥳 I'm excited to announce that I've successfully completed CS50 Introduction to Cybersecurity course offered by Harvard University through edX. It has been an incredible journey diving into: a) Securing Accounts b) Securing Data c) Securing Systems d) Securing Software e) Preserving Data Throughout the course, I gained valuable insights into authentication, CIA triad, encryption, network security, password hashing, salting, cryptography, input validation, SQL injection, XSS, prepared statements in SQL, and status codes equipping me with essential skills to tackle today's digital challenges head-on💪🏾 Not only that, I also completed 5 assignments and a final project which helped cultivate my research and presentation skills 💫 Thanks to the Harvard University team, Edx team and David J. Malan for this amazing and informative course Up next, CS50 Introduction to Python Programming😅💪🏾 PS: Check Harvard University website for more free courses #CS50 #Cybersecurity

Time to rethink academia to start considering cybersecurity as a major part of any software engineering or computer science course and not just a “minor” or elective. It’s not optional anymore in the real world. Being a software engineer for many years and now a cybersecurity student, I can totally relate to the connection.

First day of University commencing my Bachelor in Advanced Computing majoring in Software development and minoring in Cybersecurity. Completed my first few lectures successfully and met my talented professors. I am keen to start the next step in my learning journey and meet lots of people. Networking with my peers is also a very important part of University so have been active in meeting lots of super intelligent and driven students. Here’s a snippet of my new peers from my faculty! #usyd #universityofsydney #learningjourney #networking

This marks the beginning of an extended yet hopefully thrilling and fruitful journey into this new field. I just completed the Google Cybersecurity course. It was an extensive course with lots of hands-on labs and exercises. As a beginner, some modules, like the Python programming language, were more challenging, but I learned of its importance for automating tasks to improve productivity. I had the most fun learning about the Linux OS and its command-line interface, and I equally enjoyed learning how to use wireshark and tcpdump to capture and analyze network packets. In general, the course helped me develop a security mindset and the need to protect assets (data, personnel, devices, and buildings) and organizational networks from unauthorized access. I'm eager to keep learning, developing, and improving my skills to contribute in this field.

🚨 Cybersecurity, IT Scholarship Opportunity -Applications are accepted on a rolling basis!🚨 The Microsoft Cybersecurity Scholarship Program powered by Last Mile Education Fund provides up to $500 in financial assistance and up to $375 in subsidies for cybersecurity certification exam fees.
