55 Use multi-factor authentication. Whenever possible, use multi-form authentication (MFA) to secure your devices and data. Use two of the three possible authentication methods: something you know, something you have and something you are. Going one step further, adaptive MFA applications can compare locational data, travel patterns, device context and network context. By combining these results with a developed baseline, adaptive MFA can further secure your systems. Make use of MFA to make it more difficult for attackers to compromise your data and systems. In addition to these tips, be discrete about any upcoming holiday travel plans. Do not share your location or go live on social media while you’re on vacation. Using the check-in feature makes you more vulnerable to digital and physical consequences as this lets hackers know where you are and where you aren’t. Hold off on sharing your vacation details online until after your trip is over. Good cyber hygiene, the practice of proactive cyber safety habits, is the best way to protect your information from online criminals. Adopting these cyber safety tips during and beyond the holiday season will greatly reduce your probability of becoming a victim of cybercrime.

56 How to Become a Cybersecurity Sleuth? By Edith Santos, Director of Global Incident Response for NTT, Ltd. So, you want to become a cybersecurity sleuth? Excellent! We need you and so does everyone else. A quick online search for cybersecurity jobs will reveal countless available positions. There is a great demand for more practitioners in this field, as everyone is battling the shortage of workers with cybersecurity skills. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts “…there will be 3.5 million cybersecurity job openings by 2021.” [1] With the rapid advancement of technology and continuously changing threat landscape, there simply aren’t enough cybersecurity personnel to fill these positions. Just having curiosity and an interest in this field is a great first step. How does one enter the cybersecurity field, especially if one’s background is not in Information Technology (IT), Computer Science or Engineering? A report by Frost & Sullivan shows that 87% of practitioners “…did not start their careers in cybersecurity, but rather in another career.” Cybersecurity practitioners come from diverse technical and non-technical backgrounds such as marketing, finance, accounting, military, and law enforcement. So, it can be done, and many have done it--including myself. Here’s how:
