Welcome to my blog: My Journey In Technology for Leading and Learn

-



Hello all,

    I am Andrew Ngo, I am currently working on my BA in Information Science with a concentration in Information Security at USF. I got my AA at Hillsborough Community College and wanted to further my education at a university. This is my second semester at USF and I honestly love it even though my classes are online it's just been a dream school of mine. What made me have an interest in Information Science is at first I wanted to be a computer engineer, but there's just so much math, so I did some research and I went towards Information Science with a concentration in Information Security because one, required less math, it caught my eye after reading about it, made me excited to learn the whole background of InfoSec and I want to be the best at it. I want to protect company data from being hacked by online hackers, and also to have the ability to create a product to protect serious information. I will do everything in my will to protect information from being reached. I look forward to putting my full potential into this and also looking for an internship to have some hands-on experience to prepare myself when I get my career job. 

    A little about me is I'm Vietnamese and German, I like cars, love exploring places and trying new foods, and go to the gym in my free time.

So far my first week in the class has been pretty good, I'm impressed by how Professor Tai wants us to try new things such as getting to explore the new apps that were required for this class.
I've never heard of them, but I know it'll help me long-term. Definitely will be learning a lot in this course which I'm all for it, the only downside is that I'm a little camera shy, but the more I record myself the better I will feel comfortable behind the camera.

Flywheel Strategy For Information Security

      In this past week's module, we discussed the Flywheel strategy, and how it'll correlate with my field of study; Information Security to get to my "One Thing". You may ask "What is the Flywheel strategy and your One Thing". I'll gladly explain, the Flywheel strategy is broken up into 3 parts buildup, breakthrough, and fly another way to describe it, is the short, mid, and long-term goals that'll help me get to my One Thing, which is the one goal I want to achieve in my future career that is to become Chief Information Security Officer.     First, my buildup is between 2024-2029 to first graduate with my bachelor's that I will obtain next year. Next, gain experience through internships, and get exposure to know what it's like to work in the field. Whether it's in person or remote, the knowledge I gain from it will prepare me for when I get a real job. While being an intern having the ability to have a relationship with the company...

Entropy In Information Security

      In this week's module 4 we looked at the entropy in Information Security. You may ask what is entropy? Well, entropy in information security is used to produce random numbers that are used into making security keys to protect data while being stored or in transit. In my blog, I will be going through the connection of entropy, paradigm shift, and S-curve within Information Security.           After reviewing and completing this week's module we were to write a blog about entropy in our field of study . I will be focusing on the tools created to be used in information security and how the business as a whole will perform. It may be easy to create tools, but it's not easy to use a tool that didn't stop you from hackers getting into your data. Therefore, every tool needs to be tested thoroughly providing the utmost online security while on the web or just having your computer/laptop on. Which someday I will be the one c...
