Good evening and welcome back to another post from ToBeSecured. To my coworkers, if you're reading this, Happy 1-year Anniversary of working at our job and wishing you many more successful years. I'll speak briefly about my experience thus far and key things that I've learned.
Graduating from Southern University was one of the best milestones I've reached in my lifetime and enrolling into graduate school right after was the best decision I made. Not only was I able to earn a Master's degree earlier than expected, but I was able to build my knowledge and skill-set for my current rotation and ToBeSecured. A year ago today, I joined the company within a cyber security role and today I've made my return to the same domain. I'll be working within a role that allows me to explore privacy and security at a deeper level. It's rewarding that blessings has been falling into my lap and opportunities have presented themselves, especially given the circumstances.
So far I've found it's important to:
1. Take advantage of every learning experience
2. Continue building your network/connections
3. Start today, not someday
4. Find your passion, but explore outside of your interests as well
5. Don't underestimate your abilities and remember that practice makes perfect
6. It's okay not to know everything, everyday is a learning experience!
Today, I want to point out if you have an iPhone, it can detect if you've been exposed to Covid-19. If you go to your settings>privacy>health, there's a section titled COVID-19 Exposure Logging. Underneath the section, there's a brief paragraph stating "When enabled, iPhone can exchange random IDs with other devices using Bluetooth. This enables an app to notify you if you may have been exposed to COVID-19. Exposure Logging cannot access data in, or add any data to, the Health app." When you click on Covid-19 Exposure Logging, there's another section explaining you cannot turn on Exposure Logging without an authorized app installed that can send Exposure Notifications.
There's other information explaining how your device gets the random IDs and where it stores it to notify you if you may have been exposed to COVID-19. In addition, there are exposure checks, which is a record of all requests to check your Exposure Log from the past 14 days. There are other areas to explore within the privacy section, but this piqued my interest when exploring my phone on last week.
