I have a BS in criminal justice, I have graduated from a police academy and I am 24. I am having trouble being hired as a police officer, so I am considering a career in computer (internet, network, etc.) security. What degree or certificates do I need in order to find a job in this field? How long would it take, does the position allow you to travel internationally? I have an ENTP personality if that helps and I want something with more freedom and something that harnesses my interest in computers although I have had no training whatsoever in this field.
Specifically, protecting networks from hackers and what not.
In regards to travel, I wanted to know if consultants in the field did much traveling.

i pplied to a job on the guardian.co.uk website which is a tabloid newspaper, i then get an email saying my identity has been stolen by hackers who infiltrated the websites security and stole my data. what can i do?

produces patient billing applications for doctors’ offices. In working on the next release of you firm’s one and only software product, a small programming glitch has been uncovered in the current release that, if left uncorrected, poses a security risk to its users. The probability of the problem being uncovered is low, but if exposed, the potential impact on your firm’s 100 or so customers could be substantial-hackers could get access to private patient data and change billing records. The problem will be corrected in the next release, but you are concerned about what should be done for the users of the current release.
The problem has come at the worst possible time. The firm is seeking approval for a million loan to raise enough cash to continue operations until revenue from the sale of its just-released products offsets expenses. In addition, the effort to communicate with users, to develop and distribute the patch, and to deal with any fallout will place a major drain on you

The government allows a laptop to go home with employees with no data protection on the hard drive containing military an VA folks data that could destroy their lives if in the wrong hands. Who should pay for that? The veterans or the government? Should Government employees that should have more respect for data and know better, be held liable? And what should be done about the 26 million people that have lost their data to the crooks? What would you do and what do you think that the American Veterans should do? Check the CNN news out last week on hackers. And there is more to add to this, another case happened a day or two later. HELP.

Cloud computing will be a security nightmare. With all of the data being online hackers will easily get access to thousands of businesses and consumers data. Cloud computing will be fraught with security problems, especially if the data is kept on Linux machines.

At least Windows allows users to keep all of their software on their own computers.

Will hackers be able to get my pw easily then see what I view? I fear that somebody outside could be on a laptop and hack into my internet and take personal data from my internet.

I don't know which is the best for me…
I don't download alot of stuff, just some when needed,
I use my Pen in other computers in my school
and my laptop came with Panda Internet Security 2008

So, which one of these Panda Security Downloads is the best:

Panda Global Protection 2009:
"Enjoy optimum security and safeguard your valuable data with Panda Global Protection 2009. It protects you from viruses, spyware, rootkits, hackers, online fraud, identity theft and all other Internet threats."

Panda Internet Security 2009:
"Panda Internet Security 2009 is a security suite that lets you use the Internet with complete peace of mind. It protects you from viruses, spyware, rootkits, hackers, online fraud, identity theft and all other Internet threats."

Panda Antivirus Pro 2009:
"The new Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is the easiest-to-use and most intuitive protection for your computer. Just install it and forget about viruses, spyware, rootkits, hackers, online fraud and identity theft."

According to a 2007 study by the Ponemon Institute and Redemtech, 70% of data breaches result from the loss of "off-network" equipment. That is, equipment that's not connected to the Internet. There are some other staggering numbers, but the point is that a huge percentage of data breaches are NOT "hackers" breaking into networks. They're good old laptop thefts, basically. So which is more important to focus energies on (not that any aspect should be completely neglected): laptop security or network security?
