For the summer practicum, I am interning at the Cyber Security Office of UW - Madison. I wanted to focus my poster presentation on a couple of quick tips for cyber defense. Ultimately, my goal is to write my research paper on cyber incidents that could have been prevented with proper security measures in place. Preliminary findings so far seem to suggest that most incidents are a result of human error that could have easily been prevented. However, there is also evidence of organizations simply not being prepared for a sophisticated cyber attack. With the frequency of cyberattacks in the United States, I figured this would be the perfect topic to incorporate with my summer practicum.
