 What do I think of IT(Cybersecurity) as a career or as a job?

By Dazza Limmo

To start, it's very annoying when you have to create a blog post with content that doesn't necessarily reflect what you know about the unit, but here goes. Thankfully, it's the last.

IT as a career is fascinating to me, to say the least, but Cybersecurity as a career 100% fascinates me as I get to apply security in a digital setting. I enjoy the idea that I could be working from home soon, and I also somewhat enjoy the concept that I wouldn't have to strain physically myself going out and about from an office as frequently as I do now with my security job. Only somewhat, though, I honestly don't think that I'll enjoy sitting down in the office all day. In the private sector of cybersecurity, I wouldn't mind where I work, as it would pay much better than where I work now. I figured that I can always work security on the side if I ever want to, and still have a taste of being in the field. I can see that Specsavers is currently putting out a cybersecurity position within their company...if only I could do this course earlier, finish, graduate, and apply now. I can imagine that in the future I could apply my knowledge within the government sector as well. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) deals with cybersecurity matters, and I would really like to apply cybersecurity practically there. To join the AFP, I would first join Victoria Police. The good thing is that completing the Bachelor of Security would let me skip the annoying entry test for the police.

 Best Practise for making a survey By Dazza Limmo When creating a survey, there are many considerations to take into account. This can be the relevance of the questions on whatever you put within the survey, the willingness of the survey taker (Aka the respondent) to respond to questions (Some questions can violate privacy), the ability of the respondent to understand and comprehend the questions (Some terms can be too specific and technical to understand). More considerations may include the potential ambiguity in the questions (Is it well defined, or can the question be interpreted differently?). This consideration can be seen in the double negative in questions like "Did you think that I didn't enjoy these tasks because I didn't smile? At the start of the survey, it is better to start with closed-ended questions, which are easier to answer than open-ended questions, as it can make the survey seem shorter. The length of the survey can discourage the respondent to not com...

 Facebook and Twitter By Darren Lim (S8191228) Perhaps, Facebook though considered old is one of the best example of a place where humans can blog about anything. This can be seen with the numerous paragraphs that people have posted about their life without issue. This can range with what they are feeling, their favorite hobbies/pets/toys to educational content. Pictures, videos and other forms of media can be posted alongside any paragraph with text being a short caption of media posted. Currently, Twitter has the same feature of Facebook with the potential for various forms of media to be posted on an individual blog or an organisation's blog. However, it can be seen that it has gotten notoriety by giving individuals to pay to be verified and by reducing the effectiveness of fact checkers. This could allow for misinformation to not be identified by fact checkers, leading to misinformation to spread.
