We might not initially realize how much the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps rely on STEM fields. While combat operations are a vital part of their mission, these branches also excel in areas like medicine, computer science, and cybersecurity. Cybersecurity, in particular, has captured my interest. After watching interview videos about this field, I've come to appreciate how STEM is incorporated into every aspect of modern life. This essay will explore how cybersecurity, a critical STEM field, protects the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Understanding the importance of fields like cybersecurity is essential in grasping the holistic nature of these military branches. The specific STEM research area I have chosen from the videos is Cybersecurity. As Dr. …show more content…

Sometimes, there are doors where the rooms are interconnected. The person next door could be good or bad, so it is important to make sure your stuff is protected. Cybersecurity is a field where it helps make sure data is secured, although everything is interconnected. In our analogy, for the interconnected doors, we have to make sure the correct lock is there, and that we lock the door. Furthermore, in our analogy, guests need a key card to access their room. Similarly, in cybersecurity, different levels of access (like passwords or fingerprint scanners) control who can see specific data. Hotels have firewalls to separate guest areas from staff areas. In computer networks, firewalls act as barriers to protect sensitive data. These are examples of the many ways this analogy connects with cybersecurity. I find cybersecurity inspiring because, Jennifer Cheung, a cybersecurity engineer interviewed in the video, even compares cybersecurity professionals to "superheroes" because of their role in safeguarding information. This is crucial for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps' current operations. Cybersecurity helps them be prepared for any threats and protects vital data that ensures mission success. …show more content…

Her journey, as detailed in the video I watched, resonated with me because of our shared passion for cybersecurity. Jennifer, originally from Hong Kong, has a background in math and even pursued an undergraduate degree in anthropology to improve her English skills. Her role in updating systems for the Navy and the Marines, ensuring the protection of crucial data for mission success, is truly inspiring. Her story parallels my ambitions in STEM fields, particularly cybersecurity. I have actively participated in the CyberPatriots program and found great satisfaction in tackling cybersecurity challenges. Jennifer's advice about the importance of basic subjects and STEM has struck a chord with me. Her words have motivated me to pursue my passion and have assured me that my path will encompass these fundamental

In this section of the presentation I will be talking about anti-virus, the first one I will be talking about is firewall this is a software or a hardware based system that is made to block access from a network. This is used in most network as a line of defence to try and stop bad packets entering the network and cause harm to the network. How it does is this by filter all the suspicious packets that can harm the network . There are three different types of firewalls proxy firewall, packet filtering firewall, stateful Firewall, I will start of with the stateful inspection packet filtering firewall, this is basically the eye of the network as it tracks on everything out and in the network, so if somehow the hacker enter the network and damage it because

Discussion There are many similarities between the NSA, USCYBERCOM, and NCSC in terms of their approaches and products for cyber-warfare. The major similarity is their emphasis on cyber-security and threats and ways to use these tactics to defend themselves. They have highly trained operatives to execute and organize offensive and defensive techniques to combat any potential threats to their interests. There are also differences between each of the organizations. Both the USCYBERCOM and the NSA are government agencies that place their emphasis on the national security of the United States.

Additionally, the U.S. must devote added resources to advancing internal cybersecurity through the increased employment of DOD and civilian experts in the field. If the U.S. does not invest heavily in systems, processes and personnel to support offensive cyberspace capabilities, then the U.S. risks losing its current military edge. The proliferation of cheap cyberspace technology coupled with the unregulated nature of the internet creates an OE where a small group of adversaries can wreak havoc on the most technologically advanced societies. As a result, cyberspace operations will be the most important security trend influencing the OE for Joint Force

If spent correctly, this should enable the United States to continue to maintain its competitive edge against strategic competitors. However, even with the increase in the defense share of federal R&D, the overall federal R&D budget declines because the nondefense portion is slashed by 19.2 percent. Similarly, while the FY 2019 budget increases total cyber funding for the Pentagon by 4.2 percent to $8.5 billion, it cuts the R&D budget of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which creates cybersecurity standards for the government and private sector, by 18 percent. Reducing R&D and cyber funding for nondefense agencies in order to allow the government to pay for increases in the defense budget will not enhance America’s overall security. Meanwhile, the budget asks for $9.2 billion for the Missile Defense Agency an increase that is about $1.9 billion more than what was previously planned even though these programs are so plagued with problems that there are serious doubts as to their effectiveness.

The protection of United States territory, sovereignty, population, and critical infrastructure against external threats and aggression is a main mission for the military. Although military size has decreased over the past years it is apparent that the advances in the technology by way of the military development is necessary. Regardless of the decrease in size the military paired with it’s capabilities for homeland security, which by definition is different then homeland defense. The military plays a huge part in both homeland efforts. “Homeland security is defined as: a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism, and minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks.

These partnerships create an environment to share critical threat information, risk mitigation, and other vital information and resources” (DHS, n.d.). This is, in my opinion the best way to combat these vulnerabilities. It is essential that these private companies work with the DHS and allow them to conduct vulnerability assessments. Without the use of these assessments, then a company may not know where it stands. And with the growing threat of cyber-attacks, it is essential that our infrastructure be protected.

Cybersecurity has become a growing cause for concern in the United States and indeed countries around the world. On February 9, 2016 President Barack Obama announced his Cybersecurity National Action plan (CNAP) to further the nations efforts to protect government agencies, citizens, and businesses from cyber threats domestic and abroad. However, cybersecurity is not a new issue in fact it is as old as the internet itself. With that said, I keep thinking back to that warm September day stained with the image of an enormous fireball engulfing our small TV set. This horrific day changed the course of history forever along with my future career path.

Personal vision about the future of cyberwarfare Cyberwarfare already exists in reality and has been spread out among countries or organizations over the past few decades. The rising technologies including artificial intelligence and computational neural networks used by future computers will not only be significant in a new era of power and communications, but will also broaden the channel for cybercrimes, attacks and warfare. Future cyberwarfare will continue to scale up attacks against governments, corporations and even civilians in the next decade where it will be on par with traditional military and will might surpass these tactics. Future cyberwarfare will not just be targeted against military agencies or other government agencies.
