Cyber Security Consultant

Cyber Security Consultants provide advisory services to corporate organisations, SMEs, non-profits and government agencies — helping them develop systems, policies, and operating procedures that protect the organisation’s digital assets, cloud-based systems, and online infrastructure. They assess the risk of online cyber threats and then make recommendations for the best ways to safeguard ICT systems, data, and intellectual property.

As a Cyber Security Consultant you could be auditing a client’s computer network and data management systems for vulnerabilities, assessing potential security threats to a client organisation’s website and cloud-based data storage, developing cybersecurity policies and operational procedures for a client organisation, leading a disaster planning project team to develop data recovery strategies for a government department, or attending an international conference for cybersecurity professionals to learn about emerging cyber-threats and the latest security technologies.
