Dr. Jason M. Pittman is a scholar, professor, and cybersecurity thought leader. He currently is on the full-time faculty at Capitol Technology University. The following is part of an ongoing series on privacy.

NASA recently announced the discovery of organic molecules – complex carbon particles – on Mars.  Three years ago, Capitol students flew a high altitude balloon payload that found complex carbon particles in our upper atmosphere.

Capitol Technology University – a higher education pioneer that has launched many first-of-their-kind programs – has been selected as a finalist for the annual Moxie Award.

Data is shaping our lives. Read more on how NASA is using data to further explore space, specifically Mars from data gathered over years of exploration as part of the Mars Exploration Program.

A new report has found that Capitol’s online master’s program in cyber is also one of the most affordable options available in the information assurance field.

As summer kicks into gear, a team of Capitol Technology University students involved in an ambitious space science project is savoring early successes and looking ahead to further milestones in the months ahead.

The transnational nature of cybercrime calls for a transnational response – yet, so far, building a global consensus has proved hard to do, adding to dealing with the global challenges of cybersecurity.

Earlier in this continuing series on privacy, I argued that that there were three reasons for the rising demand in privacy and that such demand is bad for our species.
