  1. It is good to hear that lawyers are involved, as is your HR team I would assume. While I understand that part of the theory of not wanting to take any action on this person in the hopes that you can legally capture the password that she used on the encrypted file, I would assume that if she poses any additional security risk to additional breaches, she would be terminated on the spot and her computer put on litigation hold (or whatever the CA equivalent may be). Depending on your security policies, devices such as personal drives or USB thumbdrives should fall under that security policy and be seen as additional risk and action should be taken. At this point the breach has happend, Is it worth the risk to retain her as an employee (assuming that breach of company security policy is grounds for termination) and risk future breaches? Either way, it may be worth your company re-examining your security model and practices so that events like this cannot occur in the future.
  2. As others have already mentioned, CCNA would be a good goal for you to try to attain in either your Sophomore or Junior year of College. Having a college degree and a number of notable certifications do help in the job hunting process. What is just as important, is that in your resume you try to get some experience showing that you have applied the knowledge you have learned and are certified for. This is sometimes easier said than done, a few places you may want to look would be IT temp agencies over the summer that specialize in staffing for short term projects. Throughout the school year, you may try to also find an organization (try non-profits) that would love some volunteer assistance on projects in return for letting you put that work down on a resume and background check. Ultimately both experience and certifications/degrees will bennefit you when you have graduated and looking for a good starting role. I typically tell people that degrees and certifications put your resume into the 'look at' pile, and the experience then puts you into the 'contact this person' pile.
