InfoSec Index

1. What is the proposed name for your Web application?
   • InfoSec Index
2. Who is the target audience for your Web application?
   • The target audience for this web application is anyone who is new to or looking for foundational information about the information security field.
3. What problem is it intended to solve for the target audience?
   • The Information Security field as a whole is quite complex, so it can be quite difficult to get accurate information on career opportunities that exist for technologists/students (other than ethical hacking). This site would provide information on job options for those looking to break into the field, resources for learning information security concepts, and a mentorship directory in which experienced members of the InfoSec community can communicate with and provide guidance to those looking for mentorship.
4. How will it meet the minimum project requirements?
   • My site will have a combination of static informational content available, API integration with social media and job search sites, and user-tailored content post-authentication in which users will be able to communicate with their mentor and vice versa.
5. Why is your proposed Web application unique or creative beyond simply meeting the minimum requirements?
   • I feel that there is a legitimate gap in this sort of content being available in a centralized location. As far as creativity in use of technologies for this project, I will do my best to implement dynamic/interactive content as I learn throughout the course; I do not have much experience thus far with web technologies other than basic HTML, so I will be sure to try to use the skills acquired during this course to be creative with the features I include.
