While the majority of my knowledge is self-taught, driven by curiosity and desire to learn, my family has been a constant source of encouragement, wholeheartedly supporting my interests. I also owe significant credit to both my Kelly Walsh CCNA teacher, Duane Reimer, and my Casper College CCNA instructor, Jeffrey Brewster, for their invaluable contributions. I am currently preparing to take the CCNA exam upon completion of my CCNA prep course at Casper College.
AI
In my opinion, AI is a powerful tool with vast potential for automating tasks and enhancing various processes. I believe it is crucial to learn how to effectively utilize these tools while maintaining an awareness of their distinction from human-generated content. (In fact, this website was built using contributions from Gemini 2.0). Effective cybersecurity execution starts by making sure your friends and family are protected. Unlike other fields, AI is accelerating cybersecurity. With the advancements of technology, EVERYONE should have at least a basic understanding of cybersecurity.
