Final Blog

Time to finish up your blog. This last assignment should be a retrospective look at your postings over the last 9 weeks. Time for a little analysis. Write up an entry that provides a summary of what you chose to write about.

My weekly blogs were all under the subject matter of Social Media Security:  Do’s and Don’ts.  I gave tips on how to keep your identity safe while on the internet, in Social Network websites and in your email.  I enforced how important strong passwords are and give tips on how to create an efficient password.  I also talked about phishing and clicking on unfamiliar sites and giving vital personal info.

First, you need to categorize your topics of choice. Did you write primarily on operating system issues? User errors? Viruses? Or did you write about a variety of topics? Why did you choose those topics?

Social Media Security: Do’s and Don’ts.  I chose this subject matter because it is very interesting and we can make it harder for the cyber criminals to invade us if we are informed. We can control our cyber experience by making it safer and securer.  Security is something we can do to better safe guard us and our info.

Next, you need to include an analysis of where you got your material. Did you use the same source each week? A variety each week?

My material came from articles that I searched for on the web.  I used a variety of material found in different places.  I found some articles by looking at TV and then searching the web for the event.  Some material I saw on the internet as I was doing other things.  I also used to Information Security Resource List that our instructor gave us in our Blogging instructions.

As the last part of this entry, include whether or not you thought this type of blog might be useful to an information security professional and provide a few lessons learned for the next group of students.

Yes, blogs like this can help everyone.  The Information Security Professional might learn something from other people’s experience.  As far as the next group of students, they would be lucky to have these blogs to inform them of the variety of subjects and examples that blogs like this can uncover.
