Cybersecurity Awareness: Cybersecurity Terminology
The Cybersecurity Awareness: Cybersecurity Terminology course by Lauren Zink provided an excellent introduction to key terms and concepts in cybersecurity, making complex ideas more approachable. As a junior MIS student at Temple University, I learned the definitions and practical implications of terms like phishing, malware, firewalls, and encryption. This foundational understanding helped me grasp the language of cybersecurity, making it easier to engage in discussions about risks and strategies both in class and in professional settings. The course was particularly helpful in preparing for internships and building confidence in explaining cybersecurity concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
