Develop your own flowchart of how do you know if a story about a threat is important enough to you.
What are your criteria? Is it just keywords? Once you are done spend a few minutes to convince the
person next to you that your criteria are correct.
Develop your own flowchart of how do you know how long it will take you to understand all technical
terms mentioned in the stories. Where would the answers come from? How would you decide if
something is worth knowing now, within a week, or doesn't really matter if you know it? (Hint: think of
the previous flowchart of whether something is important to you.)

A) What is the relationship of what you learned in this Computer Security Unit to
other areas of Computer Science? How do other areas of Computer Science help with
what you learned in this Computer Security Unit?
From what I have learnt so far, it has been a very insightful experience to which I have gained a
lot of knowledge from. The relationship between Computer Security Unit and Computer Science
is that both require critical thinking and need to be done in care. The area which I have learnt
from Computer Science, which is understanding the features of how program works help me to
understand Computer Security Unit in a positive way.
B) How does what you learnt in this unit affect an individual’s life? How does it affect
someone’s working life? How does it affect an organisation?
It affects an individual’s life and working life in a way where it prevents and increases people’s
awareness. It alarms people to be more careful in different areas such as being aware of
downloading certain objects from the internet could cause lethal damage towards the computer.
Furthermore, it affects organisation because people work under it, if they are not aware of the
situation they are in, it would cause damage towards the organisation.
C) How would you convince a company that it would benefit from knowing more about
what we covered in this Unit? List your arguments.

found, outside what is in the notes, which are relevant to this Unit? (How many should
you find? No fewer than 5, no more than 10.)

an individual or a company, and provide a reference to where someone can find more
information about it.
