Hi everyone,
My name is Katherine, and I live in New Jersey, just about five minutes from New York City. I work full-time at a financial institution and am proudly pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology.
I believe that the idea of privacy has become more complex matter, especially as technologies have evolved. I do think that with evolving technology, as a society, we need to recognize that privacy is an important asset, which we need to be diligent about. My definition of privacy encompasses our abilities to have a safe exchange of information, as one deems fit, within a secure exchange. I determine how and what I do with my information, no one else. This information can be highly sensitive or not; and a secure exchange can be from an interaction with a friend to highly confidential information that is encrypted. The availability and need for instant information have become a necessity that as society; we have become more willing to disclose snippets of information, in exchange for the convenience of having access to more information, and with the possibility of instant gratification. Ultimately, the responsibility of our own privacy relies on each of us; whether it be corporate or personal, we have the obligation to ensure that the information handled, is the information one wants to handle, and that is used as it is intended use.
I look forward to learning from all of you this term!

Hey everyone! My name is Phil Wheeler. I am currently pursing my undergraduate degree in Cybersecurity.
Privacy has a lot of different definitions. I would define privacy is the method to make what would be public information confidential. Privacy is used to ensure that people that are not authorized to access information that is deemed sensitive by the person that controls that information.
Great meeting everyone!
Phil
