Team Reflection Paper

As a junior at Indiana University in Bloomington working on obtaining an undergraduate degree in Informatics with a Cognate in Security, I felt honored to have the privilege of becoming an intern at Old National Bank located in Evansville Indiana this past summer. I was placed in the Cybersecurity Operations Division. My direct supervisor was Jon Nicholson, Cybersecurity Operations Manager who supervised the Identity and Access Management Team, as well as, the Security Operations Center for 188 branches of Old National Bank. I was given the titles of both Security Operations Center Analyst, and Network Operations Center Analyst. I became familiar with the Old National Bank’s cyberinfrastructure, and then adapted their Security Information and

In addition to my direct supervisor, there were six other team members. Three team members were Network Security Engineers. One focused on Email and Web Security, as well as, Firewall Management. The second one focused on Load Balancing, the Virtual Private Network, in addition to, Firewall Management. The third team member also focused on Email and Web Security, as well as, Firewall Management. The forth team member was a Network Security Analyst who focused on Wireless Security Vulnerability Screening, and Certificate Management. The fifth team member was a Patch Specialist who focused on Workstation and Server Patching, and also Vulnerability Scanning. The final member of the team was a Disaster Recovery Specialist who managed the Disaster Recovery Program. This team based structure provided an excellent approach to maintaining a high level of security for the

Particularly relevant to my internship, through the Info-I 101 Introduction to Informatics course, were the general topics of Structured Query Language (SQL), and the Computer Binary Number System which I used daily. In my INFO-I 130 Introduction to Cybersecurity course, I was introduced to the organizational aspects of security which helped me identify the security team structure at Old National Bank, and the technical security tools. The INFO-I 201 Mathematical Foundations of Informatics, and INFO-I 231 Introduction to the Mathematics of Cybersecurity courses helped me not only develop critical thinking techniques and propositional logic, but also formulas that I could apply to create alarm rules based on SQL. The INFO-I 202 Social Informatics, and INFO-I 303 Organizational Informatics courses taught social engineering methods, and organizational characteristics that were similar to the CBT Nuggets training course on Security+ that I took through Old National Bank which applied to a business specific environment. Regarding the courses on INFO-I 210, and INFO-I 211 Information Infrastructure I and II, Old National Bank used a variety of software architectures of information systems. As the SOC Analyst intern, the system that I became familiar was the LogRhythm Security Information and Event Management, or SIEM, tool that correlated logs, and events from multiple sources, and then
