字幕列表 影片播放 列印英文字幕 I started at CDC in 2013 as an intern while finishing my Master's degree at Jacksonville State University in Alabama, where I was a cheerleader and mascot. Today, I work in CDC's Cybersecurity Program Office as a senior system administrator. I'm also essentially a cyber detective. It's my job to spend every day on constant alert. I start each day searching for potential threats to CDC's network. Have new vulnerabilities been exposed? Have there been any global cybersecurity events that might be a threat to us? This type of research is critical because we can use it to hunt down malicious activity to defend CDC users, systems, data, and services that save lives. I also manage the application we use to investigate and provide alerts about malicious activity. In a nutshell, I help protect the science. I have several hobbies, including woodworking, leatherworking, and smelting metal. These activities help me to momentarily escape the digital chaos and justified paranoia that comes from working in cybersecurity. If I didn't work in cybersecurity at CDC, I'd probably just put on a plaid shirt and go be a lumberjack. I love my job because I feel what I do actually makes a difference. I'm Thomas Brookshire and I AM CDC!
