Sop Sample for MS in Cyber Security

Most netizens use the internet and connected technologies on the presumption that
their data and privacy are safely guarded. While most of the assets are indeed safe,
it is not the default behavior of the internet. In reality, the internet is treacherous
waters. It is kept secure by the efforts of cybersecurity experts. A recent project at my
work restored my desire to join ranks with these noble guards. Even though I’ve
acquired exposure to the field of security through my Bachelor’s degree, I wish to
augment my expertise with a master’s degree in Cybersecurity. I am confident that
the course will help me channel my proficiency and redefine my career as a
computer security specialist.

My graduation in Computer Science offered me two electives in the third year –

Discrete mathematics and IT security. In complete honesty, I picked the latter as I
am an avid reader of the techno-thriller genre and with the hopes of having
adventures as one would see in films and novels with hackers. Although such notions
were discarded in the first few classes themselves, the course did not disappoint me
at all.

In tandem with my studies, I was involved in many programs that introduced me to

the latest technologies. During the final year of my college studies, I was one of the
leading coordinators for Intrac, the Technical and Cultural fest at my university.
Holding such positions has allowed me to associate with different computer experts
and further reinforced my knowledge of algorithms, programming procedures, and
cybersecurity.

Immediately after graduation, I was hired by Solid Systems Ltd in Bangalore as a

Software engineer. I started working on the development of Sales and Management
applications for a company in Malaysia. It became clear to me that my affinity was
more towards testing and troubleshooting than towards development. Three years
later, I joined Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as a Senior Programmer. The stint
allowed me to work on more large-scale projects that involve high-level technologies
like machine learning and cloud computing.

At present, I am the lead for the project of establishing the network infrastructure for
an international media conglomerate. The biggest challenge I have faced so far is
ensuring that the security of the architecture is intact. As I have not worked in IT
security for a while, I needed to update myself on the latest developments by
consulting with the subject experts at TCS and through the internet. My efforts to
catch up with the modern industry standards revived my interest in Cyber Security.
As my current undertaking is approaching its conclusion, I decided to take a break
from my career and pursue a master’s course in Cyber Security.

Canada has established its place as a frontrunner in the realm of technological and
computational education. The existence of numerous top-class firms in the country
gives me good hopes for an international internship. Along with this, I am exhilarated
by the cultural diversity of the land of maple leaves and its amiability towards
students from all corners of the world. For these reasons, I decided to learn from a
university in Canada.

After ample research, I found ABC University to be perfect for my requirements. The
course syllabus furnished on the website captivated me a lot with its focus on modern
technologies. The program also gives coverage to the security aspects of equipment
like fingerprint and iris-based access control. This inclusiveness will help to expedite
my comprehensive growth as a security expert. Additionally, the research
background of your faculty has convinced me that this program will be instructed in
the best way a professional can hope for.

After completing this course, I will return to India to resume my professional life. I
want to shift my career to a company that focuses exclusively on cybersecurity
services. After acquiring adequate experience and insights into the field, I will venture
into the dream of starting my own firm. This international qualification will equip me
with the strength and confidence to take up such an ambitious dream. I look forward
to an exciting and gratifying association with your prestigious University.
