WHAT DO CYBERSECURITY PROFESSIONALS DO?

The world of cybersecurity includes a whole range of specializations. Here are a few of them.

Security Analyst

Security analysts monitor, prevent and stop attacks on private data. In this role, you can expect to spend your days designing and implementing firewalls and other digital security software systems to protect data and network systems across an organization.

Incident Responder/Handler

Incident Responders/Handlers are responsible for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security breaches or incidents. They work to minimize damage to a organization's systems and data by investigating the cause and scope of an incident, as well as implementing measures to prevent future attacks.

Security Researcher

Security researchers hold one of the most essential roles in cybersecurity. They design security protocols and study the evolution of unique malware strains that allow other cybersecurity professionals to monitor and detect vulnerabilities in their networks.
