NETWORKING PROJECT
2. Technical skills developed
This professional exposure has helped in gathering new knowledge and skills about the
four events organized. I have developed my professional and technical skills by attends these
four events. The first event, DDLS seminar has been focused on the cybersecurity. Cyber
security has been an important topic for all the organizations in the market [1]. The seminar has
focused on the different mitigation technique of cyber security including the encryption
technique. The standard encryption (TLS) method has been discussed in the seminar. I have
gained technical skills in the encryption technique from the cyber security seminar. The second
seminar has focused on the National Broadband Network and its application. This helped me to
earn precious knowledge on the different topics of networking [2]. In addition, the practical
sessions helped me to gather crucial experience on the subject, those that will help me to take
prompt decisions in real life scenarios while dealing with networking tasks and challenges in a
professional environment.
The use of the network in various fields has been discussed in the seminar. I have gained
knowledge about the networking and different cabling set ups. The impact of networking in the
organization has been discussed in the seminar. I have learned about different networking skills
including hardware and software. The third seminar has focused on the solving real world
problems with IBM Cloud [3]. I have learned about the cloud computing and its benefits in the
company. The use of the cloud computing in the company has been discussed in the report. I
have learned about various problems in the cloud computing including IBM Cloud. The
characteristics and problems in the cloud computing and its services has been learned by me. The
fourth seminar has focused on Melbourne server less meet up [4]. The use of the server less meet

up application have been discussed in the seminar. In have learned about the networking
department of the companies in the market.
Future Usage of Knowledge or Skills
I have learnt a lot about advance technologies used in the companies in the market. I
have learnt about the encryption technique used for the cyber security and cloud computing. The
demerits and problems in the cloud computing has been learnt by me. I have learnt technical
skills in the networking system of the company [5]. I can use my learnings in the future for
developing myself as a networking graduate. The use of these professional skills learnt during
the practical exposure of the seminar. I might help my company in making use of my skills and
knowledge. I have learnt how to encrypt a data packet to protect it from hackers and other
intruders. The encryption method have helped in securing data and information in securing data
and information of the company. The use of encryption technique has helped in maintaining the
cyber security of the companies in the market.

3. Mapping outcome
I have learnt about cybersecurity as this is my interest of topic. I have been maintaining a
proper approach to the development of the company. I have gained technical skills in the
encryption technique from the cyber security seminar. The second seminar has focused on the
National Broadband Network and its application. The use of the network in various fields has
been discussed in the seminar. The four events have been helping in providing a practical
approach to therefore important topics discussed. I have learnt a lot about the cybersecurity,
cloud computing, networking and application development. The characteristics and problems in
the cloud computing and its services has been learned by me. This variety of knowledge might
help me in getting a proper career as a networking graduate [6]. Therefore, the importance of
these skills have been increased with the application of the skills in the market. The use of the

cybersecurity has been maintaining the security of the data and information of the company. The
use of the cybersecurity has been creating various opportunity for me in the future.
The fourth seminar has focused on Melbourne server less meet up. The use of the server
less meet up application have been discussed in the seminar. In have learned about the
networking department of the companies in the market. The use of the cloud computing has been
helping me in understanding the online storage of the data and information in the internet. The
real problems of the cloud computing has been helping in maintaining brief idea about the
solutions in the cloud computing. I have learned about various problems in the cloud computing
including IBM Cloud. Professional Skills [7].
The practical exposure that I have acquired through attending the seminars shall prove to
be extremely helpful in the fields of network computing. The skills that I have acquired can be
largely grouped under the banners of Cloud computing, network security, data mining,
broadband connectivity and many more. This will help me to solve real world networking
problems and develop networking environments with more knowledge and precision. I did not
like was that in some cases they did not provide the hidden details behind the highlighted issues
which is however understandable owing to the shortage of time in these seminars.
For example, the practical knowledge that I had developed regarding cryptography has
provided crucial information in the field of network security. Cryptography is the process of
encrypting data that is stored on the servers of the cloud, thus protecting them from unauthorized
access. Data security is the most important factor in networking, in the modern times [8]. I have
learned to use the various tools and techniques that help in the process of encryption and
decryption. These include Triple AES, Blowfish and Towfish techniques. These techniques are
used widely by several U.S Government and other private organizations all over the world.

Through these learnings I have managed to protect virtual servers from intended attacks by
encrypting crucial data that was presented as part of practical test exercises.
Graduate Outcome Table
MIT Graduate Attributes Justify the coverage
based on capstone
project exposure and
professional
exposure

Future plan
Having been engrossed with the knowledge of networking, I would like to endorse
myself in the professional realms of networking. However, the concept of cyber security
entertained me the most. I hope to have ample beginners’ knowledge to pursue a career in Cyber
Security.
With the advent of the internet, cyber security has been the biggest challenge of
information technology. These threats include hacking, phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks and
many more. Hacking involves expert personnel to enter someone else’s account or system
without their prior knowledge and hence make unauthorized modifications or get away with
thefts. Through phishing, a third-party application can acquire login details of other users
without their knowledge. DDOS attacks are however very common nowadays. Cybercriminals
all over the world has now chosen this technique to destabilize the website servers of the big
corporate names of the world thus hindering their official delicacies[9].
I had always been awed by the practicalities of network computing, even though I could
not figure which field of networking attracted me the most. Over the time period due to the
seminars, I got to learn more due to my interaction with many experts. These practical sessions

NETWORKING PROJECT
helped me to magnify into the core aspects of networking and has certainly guided me to choose
a career in this. As mentioned in the section above, I finally chose network security as a career
path. The challenges in cyber security needs to be addressed with highest priority and I would
like to be a part of the change.
To interact with aspirants and experts from various universities have been the best aspect
of the professional exposure. This helped me to earn precious knowledge on the different topics
of networking. In addition, the practical sessions helped me to gather crucial experience on the
subject, those that will help me to take prompt decisions in real life scenarios while dealing with
networking tasks and challenges in a professional environment. One thing that I did not like was
that in some cases they did not provide the hidden details behind the highlighted issues which is
however understandable owing to the shortage of time in these seminars. Nevertheless, I would
like to take forward these learnings and brush up the practical qualities with more practice and
finally move forward in my career path.
