Week 1

This week was great for ideation and thinking about what I wanted to tackle as a research problem for my Master’s thesis. Having covered many topics in my Cyber Security studies, I decided to list them out and then map my strengths and interests against the list.

The list:

ITE516 Hacking Countermeasures
ITC597 Digital Forensics
ITE531 Architecting Cloud Solutions
ITC561 Cloud Computing
ITI581 Cyber Security Fundamentals
ITE534 Cyberwarfare and Terrorism
ITC578 Dark Web
ITC595 Information Security
ITC596 IT Risk Management
ITE514 Professional Systems Security

My strengths:

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Automation in Cyber Security
Threat Intelligence
Cloud Security

I think I am heading in the direction of a thesis focused on the intersection of GRC and Automation.
