CYBER SECURITY

Cyber security professionals, or information security analysts, have a wide range of responsibilities, but the crux of their job is to protect online data from being compromised. As more of our personal information is stored online, the more important it becomes to step up security.

Cyber security is a complex field, and many roles can be found within banks, retailers, e-tailers, healthcare, and government organizations. On the job, you can expect to safeguard an organization’s files and network, install firewalls, create security plans, guard customer data, and monitor activity. If a breach occurs, you’ll be responsible for identifying the problem and finding a solution quickly.

Because of the frequency of cyber attacks, what you’ll do will be varied and qualified professionals are needed to help prevent breaches.
