My first experience blogging has been very exciting and rewarding. My final take: I plan on researching for an opportunity to be a regular contributor on cyber-security and cyber-crime issues in the financial sector.
The first couple of weeks were a little shaky due to the fact that I needed to get my feet wet in the blogging arena. Once the dust settled and the kinks were smoothened out, it became so much fun to read and blog on the various topics that I found interesting.
Throughout the blogging weeks I wrote about a variety of topics. However, most of my blog materials were about the financial/banking industry cyber-crimes from Bankinfosecurity.com website. The topics covered hacking, viruses, ID theft, credit card skimming, cyber fraud, information security threats and ways to combat them, etc.
Initially, I did not choose to write on these topics but cyber-crime in the financial sector picked my interest as I began to read about how it impacted my current field of work, and the millions of dollars being lost due to financial cyber-crimes around the world. Also, as the course progressed I gained better insight about cyber security issues. Another source that I used was Networkworld News website.
I feel that this type of blog is a very useful tool and a great learning experience for information security and banking industry professionals. One of the lessons I learned was that my materials sources kept me abreast of current issues in the cyber security & cyber-crime world. It also made me more aware about how the Federal, States, and local authorities are combating cyber security frauds and financial cyber-crimes.
