Abstract

During my Internship at the Illinois State Treasury Office, I got in contact with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to conduct a vulnerability scan that they offer. This scan revealed potential vulnerabilities within the office's infrastructure and proposed solutions to mitigate risks effectively. By addressing these vulnerabilities, we fortified the organization's resilience against cyber threats. Simultaneously, I researched the integration of Linux systems into the existing framework of the State Treasury Office. This research encompassed evaluating compatibility requirements, security protocols, and performance optimization strategies. By optimizing the integration of Linux systems, we aimed to streamline operations and enhance efficiency while maintaining robust cybersecurity measures throughout the transition. The most impactful outcome was improving cybersecurity and researching the integration of Linux systems, ensuring better efficiency and security at the State Treasury Office.
