    According to the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary cybersecurity is one of the most urgent priorities.It protects the U.S. by leading the defense against cyber threats. A quality of the experts would probably be to be able to hack computers, which will help protect our country because they can see what possible suspects are doing and make sure that they aren't doing anything bad. We rely on cybernetworks for banking and transportation. I think that it is important because it can protect our country from possible terrorist threats.

    well cybersecurity is very urgent because it protects against cyber threats. Cybersecurity experts would help because they can get into other computers and see of they are planning something. the cybersecurity has good qualities because they know how to do things that normal peoplr do not know how to do. we rely on cybernetwork on basically eveything that we do. i think that cybersecurity is important because it better protects our country, and it makes us feel safer.

    I think cybersecurity is one of the most urgent prioritites because everything is starting to be done online. Now a days you start to buy stuff online and evrty company has a website and an e-mail. Cybersecurity will help protect the U.S. is because other countries can't hack into government files and business files to make the government or business vulnerable. Cybersecurities experts probably know alot about computers and they now how to hack into things or change things on the computer.We rely on cybernetworks to protect the people from people trying to take other peoples identities and maybe government or business things. I do think cybersecurity is important to protect alot of people from having bad stuff happen to them on the internet.

  5. Kevin Conrad 5th- Cybernetworks are very important to me. I use them alot. They should let people use what ever sites they want. Its there computers at there own home, but if its at like a school or library, I understand why they restrict some sites. Cybersecurity members should be able to think like other human beings. I use cyber networks for friend, family, and fun. yber networks are very impotant because without them we would not be able to comunicete long distances or type essays, and thing as such.

I think the skills of cyber security experts are to have lot knowledge about all kinds of strategies that hackers use and to be to catch the problems quickly. According to the article we rely on cyber networking to control and manage transportation, electricity and banking. I think cyber security is important because it protects our country against threats.

    I think Cybersecurity is a big threat to children and teens that use the internet improperly. According to the department of homeland security they are planning to hire about 1,000 experts who will be able to make the internet more safe. Cybersecurity experts can help keep the United States more safe by monitoring the usage of websites that could possibly be unsafe. I think cybersecurity is very important because without any type of security the internet would be so dangerous.

  8. Moore B.~1st-"Cybersecurity is one of the most urgent priorities," says the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary. I agree with the United States Homeland Security Secretary. The internet is more than just looking things up. The internet is used for paying bills, talking to people,email, and other things. I think that cybersecurity is one of the most urgent priorities according tot he U.S. Homeland Security Secetary because it will help prevent threats and bullying from the social networks on the internet. Cybersecurity experts would help protect the United states from cyberthreats and also prevent both goverment and private sector computer sites from being targeted. Those cybersecurity experts have to have the necessary qualities and/or skills to have this job. I think the qualities and/or skills of a cybersecurity expert is a person who knows the compuet and the internet very well. Also a person who doesn't go on inapproriate websites, chatrooms, social networks, or illegal websites all the time or once in a while. They also have to be good at hacking the computer and see if any suspects are doing anything that would hurt our country. We rely on cybernetworks on basically the important thing like managing transportation, electricity, and banking. I think that cybersecurity is definately important because it will prevent any from big things like terrorist attacks and threats. Also the small thing from cyberbullying and harassment. Without any tpe of security who knows what the internet would look like.,

    A quality expert on computers would probably be to be able to hack computers or gain access to any of our information, so that means cyber security will help protect our country because they can see what possible suspects are doing and make sure that they aren't doing anything bad.The U.S. Homeland Security Secretary says cybersecurity is one of the most important and pressing issues.It protects the U.S. government by leading the defense against cyber threats. I think that it is important because it can protect our country from what could be terrorist threats.

    I think that cybersecurity is one of the most urgen priorities in the united states because there need to stop cyber threats. The unitedstates goverment has top information on the inernet and on their computers that they have. I think people are going to not have such a big of a chance of crashing different computers and getting into computers

  11. Katie Zavodny 1st- I think Cyber security is a big priority because it protects everybody from computer hackers, and also from cyber threats. I also think that for the experts that are going to be working for cyber security should know how computer hackers think, and work. S they can prevent it from happening.

    I think Cybersecurity is a threat to some kids, teenagers, and some web sites. I don't think that having Cybersecurity is a good idea, it could make internet sites unsafe or can make them unusable by having too much security. I think that they should have locks and only have Cybersecurity for computer hackers. The improper ways of usage should be secured or locked. It would make things less dangerous for sites.

    I think that cybersecurity is good to have if we keep this then we will have less and less computers getting hacked and less viruses too. Cybersecurity experts can protect us by have someone monitor the sites at all times. I think the qualities are them being able to fix any problem people have with the sites, and they are good at working with the viruses and hackers they can probably track hackers really well. we rely on them to protect our computers and personal information on our home computers. I do think cyber security is important because with out them our computers would a=have alot of viruses and hackers would kill our computers! Web sites would too dangerous with out it.

    I think Cybersecurity is important because it prevents viruses, and prevents hackers from getting into your computer. If they have people on the computer protecting files like these they should knowhow to hack computers, that way they would always know how the virus would work and they could get rid of it from the inside.

    I think that Cybersecurity is very important because it prevents people from hacking your computers and it also prevents viruses from getting onto your computer.Cybersecurity helps protect the United States from cyber threats and private sector computer sites from being targeted.I think qualities and skills all cyber experts should have is a very good understanding on computers themselves. They also should know how to hack into computers to see if anyone is doing anything bad on there computer they shouldn't be doing. For example anything that could harm or affect our country or others. We rely on cybernetworks on basically everything like managing transportation, electricity, and banking. I think that cybersecurity is extremely important it protects us from threats, viruses, and many other things. Without cybersecurity the internet would be very dangerous, and would not be as good of a resource that it is today.

    I think cybersecurity is one of the most urgent priorities according to the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary because in this economy people are out to steal others identities. Cybersecurity experts help protect the United States by helping scan viruses that some person could have sent to another through an e-mail. I think the qualites and/or skills of a cybersecurity expert is to know how to detect false links and viruses, they must be good at preventing others from moving themselves into the virus. According to this article we rely on cybernetworks to control and manage transportation, electricity, banking. I think cybersecurity is important because without it nobody would surf on the web because they are afraid of a virus that could potentially have identity-theft potential.

    I think that cybersecurity is so important because if you have the right computer program you can do almost anything. Well if you have ever seen the movie Live Free or Die Hard, they more or less take over the U.S. by computer, so it can help us keep our country under control. Another thing is that it can help us stop illegal things from occuring. I feel that the cybersecurity experts should have a good record from previous employers, so a lot of experience. Common sense is also another very good atribute that I feel is important. And obviously the ability and knowledge to use a computer well and correctly. Again they can stop hacks, illegal interactions, maybe decrease the number in illegal relationships. According to the article we rely on networks to control and manage our trasnportation, and banking.Yes i believe that cybersecurity is very important because if there wasnt any then i feel that even more bad things will happen; rapes kidnapings.. etc...

  20. Dragan D 5th hour. I think cybersecurity is important because it protects your computer from virus. It can also protect all of your passwords and information on your computer. If there was no cybersecurity people would get other peoples passwords and information. And there would be more kidnapings and rapes just like Sheila said. I do think cybersecurity is important because it protects your computer and infromation. Cybersecurity can help our country be under control because it can stop all the rapiest and it can help find people that are downlodaing ileagl stuff like limewire and etc..
