Introduction
The learning experience that I had from the previous assignments helped me to clearly
understand the various means of implementing cyber security. However in order to realise
cyber security, it is essential to understand the major cyber threats that requires the
implementation of security for threat prevention. Cybercrimes are committed by people who
have an accomplished understanding of the Informational Technology. Analysing the
previous two assignments it have been observed that cyber criminals mostly target the major
organisations and breach their financial accounts. I have gained an in-depth knowledge
regarding how the organisations become vulnerable to the attacks of cyber criminals. The
major approaches that the cyber criminals adapt to breach the data records have been clearly
understood in the course of doing the assignments.
Reflective Journal Scope
The extent to which cybercrime and the vulnerability of the major foundations before
the cyber criminals have increased, have made cyber-crime and the technologies used in
cybercrime, a topic of study. However, as an outcome of this learning experience, I have
realised that it is not always that the criminals breach in to steal the bank details of the
organisations. Breach of data base is also one major sort of criminality that is sought after by
criminals in many case.

Week 1
This research helped me to understand the major kinds of motives with whiuch the
cybercrimes are implemented. Hence the learning outcomes of this course would help me to

study further the technologies that can be used by the organisations so as to prevent their
organisation’s data or the financial information from being leaked. In my future career, these
learning outcomes would help me to get placed in frontline companies as data analysts or IT
experts.
Week 2
In future I suppose every major global organisations should have a specialised IT
department which would work towards preventing cyber breaches. In this context I would
stand at a favourable position, as I have gained in a comprehensive knowledge of the
technologies that are being implemented by the cyber criminals. Conclusively, in the research
work, I have made profound research regarding how the technologies are implemented by the
criminals.
Week 3
As such my knowledge about the criminal methodology would help me to work
proficiently as a deemed professional as a data expert. Cybercrimes can affect a person in
general life. Cyber criminals can breach the bank and other financial details of individuals
also.
Week 4
My knowledge, gained in as an outcome of accomplishing this research study would
help me to become more alert about such crimes being committed here and there in the
society and I would be in a better position to prevent people around me and my community
from becoming victims to cybercrime.
