Cybersecurity experts agree: No one security measure is foolproof to defend against attacks. Ransomware is a new threat. It comes from nowhere and can potentially lock you out of your data and applications until a ransom is paid, making it difficult to recover. These cybercriminals are extremely skilled and motivated. They want to access as much confidential personal information as possible. Security specialists recommend using every tool at your disposal, including draconian measures like backups, encrypting data files, redacting sensitive information on your devices and firewalls.

Pursuing a career in cybersecurity is not as straightforward as other more traditional professions. Doctors and lawyers serve as great examples. In most countries, including the United States, an advanced academic degree is required for each, along with an occupational license. Although there are exceptions to the rule, the general process includes completion of high school, earning a bachelor’s degree, entrance exams and completion of a master or doctoral program, on-the-job training (residencies and internships), and state or multi-state license examinations.
