The AWS Academy Cloud Foundations Canvas course provided an in-depth understanding of the materials we learned in MIS 3406 – Cloud Architecture. We first learn about the advantages of the Cloud, especially in regards to its scalability and cost-effectiveness, along with an introduction to the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework. Through case studies, we also learn how to optimize cost through AWS’s various services and their relevance to business needs. Then the course introduces the functionality of various AWS services, such as EC2, Lambda, and other compute services, database services like DynamoDB, and AWS networking and content delivery services such as Cloudfront. We also learn about the concept of the AWS Global Infrastructure – that is, availability zones, regions, and edge locations that all serve to ensure fault-tolerance, high availability, elasticity and scalability. Through our labs, we learn about cloud security, working with features such as AWS IAM. We also learn to build out a VPC, launch a web server, and launch Amazon EC2 instances, which we learn how to do in detail in our MIS 3406 In-Class Activities as well. Another lesson found both in the MIS 3406 coursework and in the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations course is the introduction of storage services like Amazon S3. In later labs, we learn how to build a database server, and learn of the differences between database services like Amazon Aurora, DynamoDB, and Amazon Redshift. We then learn about troubleshooting through the AWS Trusted Advisor, which is a tool that can provide guidelines and recommendations after looking at a practitioner’s specific AWS environment and aligning the environment with AWS best practices.In the last module, we learn about the 3 types of Elastic Load Balanging: the Application Load Balancer, the Network Load Balancer, and the Classic Load Balancer. In our last lab,  we created an Amazon Machine Image, a load balancer, and learn to auto-scale new instances. Finally, we learn about the benefits of Amazon CloudWatch for performance monitoring and troubleshooting. Through labs, case-studies, and in-depth videos, this course teaches many integral foundations for becoming a cloud practitioner.  

As a part of my MIS2402 coursework, I took on an optional project to earn MIS Professional Achievement points. The goal was to delve into web APIs and JSON data, learning to apply programming skills. My task involved creating a web page with a button that, when clicked, fetched data from a JSON source.

My Hypothesis stated that “Famous landmarks in New York City, with historical or iconic significance, draw in a considerable number of tourists. They also play a vital role in shaping borough cultures, influencing local development, and contributing significantly to the city’s tourism-driven economy.” The data that was fetched from the API demonstrates the number of landmarks in different areas of New York City and the total number of Individual Landmarks. Showing how this information supports the hypothesis.

In the course MIS 4596: Managing Enterprise Cybersecurity under the instruction of Professor Lanter, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the managerial aspects surrounding information security. This course delved into the multifaceted nature of security, covering a diverse array of topics such as technical elements like cryptography, managerial considerations such as policy compliance, physical security measures like door locks, and even psychological aspects like social engineering. A primary goal of the course was to cultivate a security mindset, encouraging students to adopt an attacker’s perspective to identify potential vulnerabilities and exploit them. Through this holistic approach, the course equipped me with a well-rounded knowledge base, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various security dimensions in the realm of enterprise cybersecurity.

Through the completion of Milestone 3 and Milestone 4 in the cybersecurity penetration testing and risk assessment projects, I gained valuable insights and skills that are crucial for a successful career in cybersecurity. These milestones not only enhanced my technical proficiency in identifying vulnerabilities in public-facing webservers but also honed my ability to communicate complex findings and recommendations effectively.

In Milestone 3, I learned the importance of conducting blind penetration tests, simulating real-world scenarios where limited information is available. This experience not only sharpened my technical prowess but also underscored the significance of thorough reconnaissance and meticulous evaluation. Milestone 4, with its focus on recommending controls to mitigate identified vulnerabilities, provided a comprehensive understanding of how to bridge the gap between assessment findings and actionable solutions.

The integration of NIST special publication 800-53 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework further enriched my knowledge by offering a structured approach to selecting and implementing controls. This meticulous process of cross-referencing vulnerabilities with relevant controls underscored the importance of aligning security measures with industry standards and best practices.

As I reflect on these milestones, I recognize the critical role effective communication plays in the field of cybersecurity. The ability to convey technical information, such as penetration test findings and recommended controls, to non-technical stakeholders is paramount. This experience has equipped me with not only technical skills but also the ability to articulate cybersecurity concerns and solutions in a clear and concise manner.

In my future career in cybersecurity, I plan to apply the lessons learned from these milestones by approaching security assessments with a comprehensive and methodical mindset. I will prioritize the integration of industry standards and frameworks in my recommendations, ensuring that cybersecurity measures align with established guidelines. Moreover, I will leverage effective communication skills to bridge the communication gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, fostering a collaborative and proactive approach to cybersecurity within organizations. Ultimately, these milestones have laid a solid foundation for my career, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning, adherence to best practices, and clear communication in the dynamic and evolving field of cybersecurity.

For my MIS 2402 Pro Point Project, I opted to create an HTML webpage incorporating JavaScript to retrieve and analyze a JSON dataset sourced from https://catalog.data.gov/dataset. The chosen dataset, titled “CDC Data – U.S. State Life Expectancy by Sex, 2020,” was processed using an Ajax call to compute three key statistics. These included the average life expectancy for both males and females across all U.S. states, as well as identifying the minimum and maximum life expectancies for both genders along with the corresponding states. This project not only showcased my proficiency in web development but also demonstrated the practical application of data analysis techniques within a real-world context.
