The process of learning is a hard one but a wonderful and fruitful experience. The learning styles, the communication skills gained, the skills of data analysis, and the information literacy was useful in my learning and will help a great deal in my career life and my life generally (Bliemel, (2014). It is time to write a reflective journal on learning experience to evaluate what we have learned from the cyber security and the challenges faced thereof. This paper features the learning process, especially what worked well or what did not work well from my perspective. I realized that there are some aspects of the course delivery that I welcomed and also identifies the needs which I feel if rectified would advance my learning experience.

The mobilization of technology has brought about many transformations in the learning process which necessitates the need to be computer literate for one to be able to develop skills of learning. With the use of the tablets and laptops and for me to be effective in learning, I had to own virtual and physical space which brings forth a more conducive learning environment for proper knowledge transfer. Being available to the training institution was quite essential. The knowledge of technology integrated powerful tools effective for in-class learning. This included the use of robust communication and virtual lab environments. They promoted my robust interaction and collaboration with teachers hence improving my learning experience.

Learning is a good experience especially in this dynamic world of computer-use and technology. With the increased need for cybersecurity due to the need to transact businesses, one has to have a learning experience which helps one to adapt to the business world dynamics. The changing approaches to address the cybercrimes necessitates one to be on the know-how and be updated on the current issues. The experience will help one to widen their minds in dealing with cyber hacking so that one does not fall a victim.

The learning experience is very valuable as it enables one to be informed of the current matters in the business world. The experience enables one to develop employability skills through the skill-building programs provided and the career education such that one is able to know what is expected in the job market by the time the learning process comes to an end. It also helps to engage with a variety of other students of different characters such that one develops the means of interacting with the community members and different kinds of people in general. In the process of learning, one is able to get engaged in various activities which broaden the minds and helps exploit one's talents so that one becomes diverse and not just stuck in one career.

What is your opinion about learning experience?

The learning experience is important in determining which kind of course to major in. This calls for the need to determine the relevance of the course which that it enables one to choose a course which is interesting and also worth learning. One finds motivation in learning what he or she is passionate about and fewer efforts will be used to create such an interest. One should choose a course which they feel will satisfy both their quest to learn and also their career and this is achieved through the learning process. Through learning, a student is able to identify the courses to start with and how their future careers will be mounded.

• program

It enables one to adjust their time and learn how to manage their time so that every duty is well attended to. Setting priorities are part of learning and it enables one to attend to the important things first and avoid wasting time on the irrelevant things as the saying says that time is money.

• future career

The learning experience is vital in determining the type of career one will venture into in future. As one learns, he or she discovers their talents and one is able to realize the kind of career that aligns with their talents. When choosing a career, it is important to consider the talents and abilities and also the interest in such a career. I was learning, I realized that there is a need to do research on cyber hacking not only to the large firms but also the small ones as they are the easy target so that whenever I focus on a certain career, I will be aware of the cybercrimes and the ways to deal with them (Chernomas & Shapiro, 2013). Learning has helped me develop communication skills which are essential tools in the business world.

• life generally

During the learning process, the real-life situation is introduced which is essential to learn about life and myself.  It exposes me to various cultures, lifestyles, and languages which are important as the world shrinks with numerous international companies. It will help me to work freely with all kinds of people and under various working conditions. The industries and professions are at a relentless transfiguration and having a broad range of knowledge will be useful for me in the workplace (Chang & Chen, 2015). Having a background in various areas of study is vital in order to excel in communicating with others and interacting with them both in the community and the workplace. Learning gave me a time to be out of parental supervision which gave a chance to develop myself adapt and ways of becoming independent in many ways. I will be able to understand and acknowledge the need for self-evaluation and its role in developing myself.

What is the value of this experience?

During the learning process, I experienced a lot including interacting with many people from different backgrounds which helped me to develop a mechanism to adapt to new environments, settings, and challenges. I heard of a machine used for hacking called Engima created by Alan – a computer science pioneer (Cohen, 2017). I have seen many sites where cybercrime is more prominent including the emails, ATMs and social media sites. This has created awareness in me even as I consider venturing in business online.

4. Evaluate what you learn

Businesses are the most targeted areas by the cyber hacking since the hackers focus on the huge amounts of money invested mostly in the big companies. Researching the businesses was useful in the learning process so as to be able to know and master the major and most sensitive and susceptible areas of cybercrimes. For instance, I realized that it is possible for the hackers to create a similar page as the true page of the site which is targeted for theft and a staff member is made to sign the page and give out critical information which is used to commit crimes (Shek et al, 2015).

5. Explain your learning process:

Doing a research on cybersecurity challenges was a critical assignment as the modern businesses depend on computers to store files and important documents. With the rise of cybercrimes, the privacy of the documents has been challenged and identifying the challenges faced in addressing the cyber security is of great significance to ensure that every possible effort is made to avoid such cases (Kao et al, 2014). Such documents hold the future of a company and if they are not protected against hacking, the company may end up making persisted losses and eventually collapse and have its future cut short. Learning various types of cyber hacking and how they happen gives an insight of how they can be avoided. Identifying the types of challenges is important as the company managers get a tip of how such crimes can happen and how they can be prevented or develop some more sophisticated means of storing the data.

The learning will be of great importance especially in my future career life as I consider doing business online. I will be able to engage with highly-skilled programmers and talented personnel in my business who will be in a position to trace any form of hacking before it worsens and deal with it as required. As the methodologies of the cybercrimes are changing day after day, it is important to adopt a proactive defense mechanism is necessary to fight such crimes and maintain good systems of data storage.

Generally, the learning experience has taught me various things which will build both my personal and career life. Having interacted with people from different backgrounds has helped me a lot in learning to adapt and work with all kinds of people under various conditions. Having learned about the challenges facing cybersecurity is a vital aspect of my career life as I will be able to assess the security level of the documents concerning my business.
