Skills Needed for Cybersecurity Jobs
- Linux: If you have an Android phone or a security system running at your house, they very well could be running on Linux. Because of its versatility and broad use, it can only help you in a cybersecurity career. CompTIA Linux+ will validate your Linux skills, showing employers that you have what it takes to work on a wide variety of operating systems and devices.
- Project Management: IT professionals need to manage many projects at once, and strengthening this soft skill can give you a leg up. Consider CompTIA’s project management certification, CompTIA Project+. CompTIA Project+ goes beyond one specific methodology or framework, covering essential project management concepts. Added bonus: CompTIA Project+ is one of the top-paying IT certifications, according to Global Knowledge.
- Information Systems: An information system is an organized system for the collection, organization and storage of data. Having a knowledge of information systems is essential to a successful career in cybersecurity.

5 cyberthreat tips for business email
|
|
We’ll never completely defeat cybercrime just as we can never totally eliminate physical crime. But businesses can take precautions to minimize the risk. Here are 5 tips for securing business email:
- Promote Employee Awareness - It is vitally important, therefore, to educate and remind employees about the dangers lurking around the corner in their email.
- Beware Those Passwords - One of the easiest workarounds is to either issue or require your employees to select strong passwords involving almost non-sensical words combining capital- and lower-case letters, symbols and numbers. Then require those passwords be changed a minimum of every 90 days (the 6-month rule isn’t aggressive enough given rising threats).
- Avoid Public Networks - To get around this, security professionals recommend setting up and requiring employees to use virtual private networks (VPNs) whenever remotely accessing business networks.
- Think Physical Security - Speaking of public places, hackers aren’t just sitting in a car electronically monitoring your communications. Sometimes they’re right over your shoulder – watching as you type your passwords.
- Terminate Network Access for Former Employees - The first thing you should do when an employee leaves your company is terminate email access.
No matter how diligent we are about cybersecurity, hackers are becoming more sophisticated and devious in how they trick people into clicking on things they shouldn’t – allowing them to penetrate networks and steal private records and money. Follow these guidelines to safeguard your Digital assists and the better off you will be.
