QUESTION 23 OF 25

How do you keep your own personal data secure?

Since fintech security analysts are typically given the responsibility of keeping company data protected, you'll want to assure the interviewer that you are capable of keeping your own home network and devices secure as well. Discuss the process and methods you use to achieve this. Consider mentioning the use of strong passwords, two-factor authentication, encryption, and even physical security measures.

"Since I protect networks for a living, this comes naturally to me when I'm at home. To protect my own wireless home network, right off the bat I always make sure to change its name because this helps to disguise the type of router I have (and hence any vulnerabilities it may have). I also set a strong and unique password for my network that is at least 20 characters long and includes numbers, letters, and symbols. I activate network encryption and also turn off my wireless home network when I'm on vacation so bad actors have less opportunities to try and hack it. Finally, I physically locate my router in the middle of my house so it doesn't reach too far outside of my house where it can be intercepted."
