What’s in it for me? An insider's view into the world of cybersecurity.

Have you ever wondered about the intricacies of the cybersecurity world? Pondered what it takes to become a successful professional in this ever-evolving field, or how to keep your personal digital environment secure? These questions, and many more, often linger in the minds of many of us, as we navigate this digital age. After all, the world of cybersecurity offers endless lessons to learn and explore.

In this Blink, you will be guided through a rich tapestry of insights and experiences straight from the veterans of cybersecurity. Through the lenses of accomplished professionals, you'll get a comprehensive overview of the field, debunking common myths and understanding the integral role of personal and professional skills in achieving success in cybersecurity.

This journey promises to not only enlighten you about the diverse pathways to success in cybersecurity but also empower you to make informed decisions about your personal digital safety. As you delve into these narratives, you'll better understand the role of constant learning, practical experience, and a balanced perception about cybersecurity threats. Most importantly, you'll grasp the profound role of interpersonal skills in propelling your cybersecurity career, and you'll learn how to navigate the landscape of cybersecurity with a sense of confidence and clarity. So, get ready for an enlightening journey through the world of cybersecurity.

There are lots of paths to becoming a cybersecurity pro

Let’s kick things off with some insights from Lesley Carhart, an information security whizz who's been in the IT industry for nearly two decade. She currently serves as a principal threat hunter at Dragos, Inc., and has a lot to share about cybersecurity.

Now, if there's one misconception she wishes to debunk, it's that security professionals should not only focus on the nitty-gritty of their niche but also comprehend the businesses they serve. You see, these organizations often aren't security-focused themselves. So, the quicker security pros grasp this, the sooner they can help senior leadership strike a pragmatic balance between operations and security.

Another pearl of wisdom that Lesley imparts is that you don’t need a college degree or certification to be a cybersecurity hotshot. While a degree can help get your foot in the door or boost your chances of snagging a promotion, it's not the be-all and end-all. The journey to becoming a cybersecurity pro is flexible with many paths to success. However, Lesley gives a heads-up: don't just rely on degree programs to equip you with all the skills you'll need in this field. She encourages self-study and active involvement in the community as key components for success.

When it comes to climbing that corporate ladder or starting your own cybersecurity company, she emphasizes networking. Get out there, interact, and get involved! Brushing up on your social skills might even give you an edge. Lesley's seen smart folks miss out on opportunities because of poor interview or résumé skills. And remember, the cybersecurity world values creative problem-solving and an insatiable curiosity about how things work.

Finally, for anyone wondering how to keep their home network safe in this digital age, Lesley has some tips. Consider the necessity of your Internet of Things devices and try to separate them from your main computer network. For instance, keep your smart devices and tax-preparing computers on separate networks, and ensure they're protected by a firewall.

Interpersonal skills are just as important as academic qualifications

Next, we're learning from Ming Chow, a senior lecturer at Tufts University who's made a big splash in the world of cybersecurity and computer science education. Let's see what Ming has to share from his wealth of experience.

Ming believes there is no direct correlation between increased cybersecurity spending and breaches persisting. Here’s why: First, many assume more spending itself will fix the problem. Second, management may not grasp what exactly they're protecting against or the real threats. Third, cybersecurity products can be complex and vulnerable themselves. And fourth, many breaches result from basic issues like weak passwords that money can't prevent.

The best approach to cybersecurity is to keep it simple

Next up: Bruce Potter, the CISO, or chief information security officer, at Expel and founder of the Shmoo Group. He’s been in the cybersecurity field for over two decades, and brings a wealth of experience to the table.

Much like Ming, Bruce stresses that mastering the basics is key for an organization to improve its cybersecurity posture. Instead of getting lost in the newest technological advancements, organizations could significantly strengthen their security by focusing on simple measures such as patching software vulnerabilities, limiting the use of USBs, and implementing two-factor authentication.

Cybersecurity adversaries don’t have the upper hand – defenders do

Let’s now see what Robert M. Lee has to say about cybersecurity. Robert is a notable name in the realm of industrial cybersecurity and the CEO of Dragos, Inc.

We'll begin with an insightful piece of advice from Robert. Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't agree with the idea that in the realm of cybersecurity, adversaries always have the upper hand. Contrary to this, he argues that with the right defense strategies, defenders can gain the advantage. This complements Bruce's suggestion of prioritizing fundamental security practices to maintain a robust defense.

Humans don’t undermine cybersecurity – poor training does

Jayson E. Street, a seasoned voice in cybersecurity and an advocate for hands-on involvement in the field, offers a wealth of insights that bring a fresh perspective to how we approach cybersecurity. His point of view is particularly interesting, starting with a compelling myth-busting statement: humans are not the liability in cybersecurity, rather, it's our failure to properly train them.

He speaks to the perception that humans are the "weakest link" due to errors such as clicking on unsafe links or using weak passwords. Jayson flips this idea on its head, asserting that if we properly instill a security-minded culture in our users, they can instead become a powerful line of defense. This shifts the focus from blaming the user to empowering them to protect the technology they're using.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
