My decision to apply for a master’s program in cybersecurity bores from my goal to curb cybercrime
activities in my country and also make a positive impact globally. Also, I have always desired to own a
firm where cybersecurity professionals of like mind meet together to express themselves and come up
with various innovations that would help the educational sector and society at large about
cybersecurity. After University, I took part in the National Youth Service Corps which is a one year
program and I served in a tech organization where I worked as a junior IT Support specialist and was also
exposed to python, and cybersecurity. I took courses on Certified ISMP in Phishing & Email Security and
also a course on Certified Ethical Hacker from EC-Council with my certification in view. I have a solid
background in computer science and programming, and I actively took part in Capture The Flag
tournaments to polish my ethical hacking and problem-solving abilities. I am motivated to positively
contributing to the academic community at the university with my enthusiasm for Cybersecurity,
dedication to continual learning, and different experiences from my previous academic and professional
experiences.
Cybersecurity skills and knowledge can provide several significant benefits to individuals in Nigeria, just
as they can anywhere else in the world. Nigeria, like many countries, faces cybersecurity challenges,
including threats to critical infrastructure and government systems. Cybersecurity professionals play a
critical role in defending against these threats, which ultimately contributes to the country's overall
security. Also help protect personal information, enhance online safety, career opportunities, financial
security, and business protection and also contribute to the cybersecurity awareness in my country. In
summary, cybersecurity is a valuable skill set that can benefit me as a Nigerian by enhancing my
personal and financial security, creating career opportunities, and contributing to the overall security of
my nation. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the importance of cybersecurity knowledge will
only increase.
Overall, an MSc in Cybersecurity program would provide me with the expertise needed to address the
evolving challenges of the digital age, technical hands-on skills, critical thinking and problem-solving
abilities, understand how to access and manage cybersecurity risks within organizations, practical
experiences, and contribute to the security of organizations and society as a whole.
Thank you for taking the time to examine my application. I am excited to begin this transformative
adventure at your prestigious University and make a meaningful contribution to the lively academic
environment.
Sincerely,
Harmony Mene
