At the same time, the report has articulated that where this learning process will be used in future. This self-reflection will be highly beneficial to evaluate the impact of the learning process on the behavior of the researcher.

Description of the Learning Process:

            As discussed earlier, data security, networking, malware are some common terms that plays vital role in today’s business organizations. Thus, it is important for every aspiring business leader or cyber security analyst to understand these areas of responsibility. Through this learning process, I have come to know about many important areas related to networking and data protection. The concept of the Malware was not clear for me earlier. I was familiar with the term ‘Malware’, but I was not aware of its impact or prevention. However, this learning process has offered me a wide opportunity to understand the concept of malware very closely, which can be beneficial for me in future. Therefore, I have come to know about how to protect a network or website of a company from the attack of Malware. This learning process has not only provided a vivid concept about Malware, it has helped me to understand the importance of IT department in an organization and IT experts can prevent such threats and maintain the data security of a business organization through their effective performance. Moreover, this learning process is highly beneficial to obtain important information about cloud computing. The entire learning process has been started from the concept of cloud computing. It has analyzed effortlessly that how transforming traditional business organizations to the modern cloud computing has become essential now a days. It has enlightened all the benefits of cloud computing, which can be highly helpful for the modern business organizations that aim at securing leading position in the industry. Eventually, it has discussed about Malware and all related threats of Malware. This learning process has helped me to understand that why to value the available assets of the business organization and why it is important to understand the threats and villains of the networking system of the business organizations at the right time to maintain their organizational information from the hackers and competitors. This learning process has discussed broadly about the connection between the organizational competitive advantage and network security. Moreover, it has discussed that how cloud computing can be cost friendly for a business organization and how its speed can be helpful for the members of an organization to gain relevant data of the organization from the network within a short period of time. It has taught me that such speed of modern networking system has brought stability in the organizational performance and increased its efficiency level.

            Earlier, I knew that in order to protect the security of the network a business organization can use https. However, through this learning process, I have been enlightened with other secure protocols that can protect the security of the business organizations, such as- Secure Shell (SSH), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and so on. Therefore, this learning process has introduced with some other protocols to protect the security and privacy of the remote computing system, such as- Virtual Private Network (VPN), Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Initially I found it difficult to understand these areas and to remember the name of these protocols and observe their functions and importance. However, eventually I have become familiar with these areas. This was one of the major challenges for me in this learning process. At the same time, I was excited to know about these new aspects of cyber security. Being an aspiring cyber security analyst, this type of analysis is highly beneficial for the development of my knowledge. Thus, I have willingly received all the concepts that have been provided in this learning process.

In this learning process, many crucial and effective information has been gathered from those research papers, which has enriched the learning process in a significant manner and helped me to obtain knowledge from those perspectives that has cleared my idea about cyber security and network security of business organizations. The data collection process of this learning process has distinguished it from many other research works. It has gathered information from both secondary and primary sources, so it can provide a clear idea about network security to the participants of the learning process, which has enhanced the capacity of the learning process.

            This learning process is highly influential for the bigger picture of the business leaders. This learning process will be helpful for the business leaders to operate their business operations in the global context. By transmitting the conventional business organization into cloud business organizations, the organizational management can maintain a healthy coordination between various departments and various branches of the organization. By this learning process, business leaders can easily understand the use of the modern security techniques and how they can use these techniques to maintain the transparency level of the organization. This learning process will provide them a clear idea a about how cloud computing can help them to share important data with every member of the organization from different parts of the world without conducting any meeting and by maintaining the privacy level of the organization.
