网络安全一直是一个令人激动和技术先进的工作领域，但毫无疑问，随着受欢迎的电视剧《机器人先生》及其主角埃利奥特-阿尔德森的首次亮相，它的知名度得到了提升。

无论你对网络安全工作感兴趣的原因是什么，你可能已经发现你的职业顾问的网络安全知识还有待提高。

幸运的是，经营华威大学网络安全项目的网络专家们。网络安全工程硕士和网络安全与管理硕士，可以提供帮助。以下是他们认为你需要知道的一切，以便在你加入网络安全战斗时做好充分准备。

1. 在线阅读网络安全故事

要想进入网络安全领域，你需要了解科技领域发生的趋势。注册Slashdot的每周通讯，以获得有关设备、网络安全政策以及品牌和消费者趋势的简明摘要。(也可以在Twitter、Facebook和Google+上关注Slashdot）。

用The Register的故事来补充你的阅读材料，这是一个关于新兴技术、数据、安全、商业和科学的真正有用的新闻资源。如果你喜欢，你也可以在Google+、LinkedIn、Facebook和Twitter上关注该出版物的实时更新。

2. 在夺旗（CTF）游戏中练习你的技能

网上有许多夺旗游戏可以帮助学生练习网络安全技能，包括密码学、计算机取证（数据的分析和恢复）和黑客攻击。其中，PicoCTF涉及使用逆向工程、黑客攻击、解密和其他技能来解决你的角色的父亲突然失踪背后的谜题。

3. 用第二台电脑进行实验

要从事网络安全工作，你需要自学基础知识，这些天你可以在网上学习大多数东西。因此，如果你有第二台电脑，这里有一些你可以在家里玩的东西。

首先，在上面安装Linux、BSD、Qubes OS和其他操作系统。

然后，把它插到Arduino板上（即一个电子平台，可以读取像光或触摸传感器或你的社交媒体信息这样的输入），并把它变成一个输出（在Twitter上发布一些东西，打开一个LED或其他）。

不要忘了。安装安全设施，并（经许可）监控你所连接的网络。

4. 学习如何编程!

这是一个相当主要的问题。要从事网络安全工作，你需要知道如何用Python、C或Assembler等语言编程......但令人高兴的是，网络上充斥着专门为帮助有抱负的程序员而设计的免费资源。看看代码学院，一个免费的互动学习工具，涵盖了广泛的模块--从HTML和CSS到JavaScript和PHP。所以，开始编码吧! 或者看看这27个在线资源，学习如何编码。

5. 尽可能多地与网络安全专业人士交流

参加针对年轻人和希望进入该行业的专业人士的网络活动和网络俱乐部。你的国家是否实施了任何旨在培养网络安全人才的计划？学校和俱乐部呢？对于那些生活在英国的人来说，国家网络安全中心的 "新人才 "网页值得一读。

6. 不要低估道德和诚信的重要性

在网络安全领域工作，你需要在任何时候都表现得负责任和正直--鉴于工作的性质，这是一项特别充满挑战的任务。因此，考虑一下你在社交媒体账户上发布的内容，尤其要警惕发布不敏感的材料，这可能会在以后的生活中困扰你。你需要能够证明你是值得信赖的。

7. 研究其他学科

网络安全不仅仅是一门技术学科。了解心理学、经济学、有说服力的语言和数据科学将使你成为一个更有效的网络安全专业人士。

8. 阅读这些书籍

美国数学家和哲学家诺伯特-维纳（Norbert Wiener）曾在麻省理工学院教授数学，也是著名的神童，他将控制论定义为定义为 "对动物和机器的控制和通信的科学研究"。要从事网络安全工作，你需要熟悉控制论中的概念，特别是应用于设备控制和信息分析的概念。

开始阅读：

《控制论：或关于在动物和机器中控制和通信的科学》（Cybernetics: or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine），以及《布谷鸟蛋：在计算机间谍活动的迷宫中追踪一个间谍》（The Cuckoo’s Egg: Tracking a Spy through the Maze of Computer Espionage），作者Cliff Stoll。

9. 进入研究生院

华威大学的网络安全硕士课程将以研究为主导的教学与现实世界的投入相结合，是世界顶级大学之一。 这些课程为学生提供网络安全方面的职业培训，并得到了GCHQ（国家网络安全中心）的临时认证。 通过学习硕士课程，你将清楚地了解网络威胁的情况。 你将获得建立和管理安全系统的技能，并将有能力在组织内战略性地应用这些技能。 从华威大学毕业的网络安全硕士将是启动你的职业生涯的一个可靠方式！

全球众多大学对美国总统特朗普最新颁布的旅行禁令表示批评，认为这将对国际学生产生不利影响。

该禁令禁止来自六个穆斯林占多数的国家的人士获得签证，被认为是对美国学术声誉及其吸引全球优秀学生能力的长期威胁。

美国大学协会会长玛丽·苏·科尔曼（Mary Sue Coleman）表示，这项新的行政命令“对美国在高等教育、研究和创新方面的全球领导地位构成了根本性的长期威胁”。

这项旅行禁令是特朗普总统于1月27日发布的首个行政命令的更新版，该命令曾在多个美国主要机场引发混乱和抗议。最初的禁令最终因法院裁定，政府未能提供足够证据来合理化禁令的存在而被阻止。

虽然新旅行禁令的措辞有所放缓，但来自索马里、伊朗、叙利亚、苏丹、利比亚和也门的公民仍被禁止在接下来的90天内进入美国。该禁令还暂停了美国的难民接收计划120天。据估计，新禁令将影响大约15000名当前的国际学生，其中有12000名来自伊朗。

科尔曼表示，她所代表的62所领先美国大学的组织认为：“新命令仍将限制成千上万来自伊朗、利比亚、索马里、苏丹、叙利亚和也门的有才华的学生和教师进入美国学习、教授及开展前沿研究和学术工作。”

“更令人担忧的是，这项命令向来自这六个受影响国家以及其他国家的才华横溢的人传递出同样的消极信息：你们在这里不再受欢迎。尤其是在总统未明确表示美国需要继续成为全球最优秀的学生、科学家、工程师和学者的首选目的地的情况下，这一信息显得尤为明显。”

欧洲大学也对这一禁令提出了批评。欧洲大学协会在一份声明中说：“欧洲大学协会认为，新的行政命令继续无差别地针对大量人群，对人员流动和交流造成损害。协会对此将如何影响希望申请签证并前往美国参与合作项目、学术会议、研究实地考察和国际学习计划的国际研究者、大学教员和学生表示担忧。”

定于3月16日生效的旅行禁令已遭到华盛顿州和夏威夷州的挑战。夏威夷案件的听证会定于3月15日举行。
