CAREERS IN CYBERSECURITY

What’s this career about? Individuals working in the field of cyber security are trained not only on how to control cyber-attacks, but also on how to put precautions to prevent an attack in the first place and retaliate against a cyber threat. The careers in cyber security can be diverse. Some of the common ones are:

Analysts typically view and manipulate data to achieAve an end result. They help in planning, implementing and upgrading security measures and controls. They should be good with numbers, reports, or spreadsheets.

Engineers configure, set up, evaluate, and help put plans in place through software and hardware.

Architects play a vital role in designing the network and computer security architecture for various companies. In most cases, they work with the engineers to achieve that goal.

Developers typically develop algorithms, ciphers and security systems to hide sensitive information. They are also code-maker as well as code-breaker professionals.

Managers are responsible for maintaining the security protocols across the organization. They often review existing security policies as well as create the policies based on new threats. They also perform regular checks on all servers, switches, routers as well as other connected devices to provide security.

These responsibilities may vary widely from company to company. As a cybersecurity expert, you must have integrity and dependability, and should safeguard the interests of the company you are working with.

How do I get there?
