Cyber Security Engineer

Cyber Security Engineers are high-end ICT professionals who protect an organisation’s digital assets, computer networks, and online infrastructure from hacking and cybercrime. They design and develop cyber security systems and then oversee installation, operations, monitoring, and incident responses.

As a Cyber Security Engineer you could be running tests to identify weaknesses in the organisation’s security system, developing operating procedures that determine who can access sensitive information, investigating unusual activity on the network, leading an incident response team after a network system breach, meeting with the executive committee to negotiate the upcoming ICT budget, working with a disaster planning project team, or doing some private research about emerging cyber-threats and online security technologies.
