User’s Needs Reflections
The document I have selected is a mock training manual for a fake company called “CyberLeet Technologies.” This mock training manual goes over risk assessments and mitigation strategies as well as company policy. This document was created on 8/16/19 as the final project of the course. This documents purpose was to educate new hires of the company on the company policy and expectations.
This document demonstrates my ability to identify and analyze user needs and to take them into account in the selection, creation, integration, evaluation, and administration of computing-based systems. The document demonstrates this by taking into account the needs of the company and creating mitigation plans to circumvent the risks. This demonstrates my problem-solving skills as well as my knowledge of cyber security policies. I selected this item because I believe it is a good representation of my knowledge and skills. The core tenets of cyber security section show my knowledge of cyber security. The threat mitigation scenarios section demonstrates my forethought and problem-solving skills.
While creating this artifact I learned a lot about cyber security and potential threats that come along with it. I learned different mitigation strategies and best practices used by professionals. I was challenged with researching real world company and university cyber security policies that I used as examples in this document. If I had to recreate this artifact, I would do more research on current mitigation strategies and add them to the list of possible strategies to use, since the threats are always evolving. This item set me up for success in the real world by teaching me about cyber security threats and mitigations for those threats.
