Cyber Security Manager

Cyber Security Managers are ICT professionals who oversee the protection of an organisation’s digital assets, cloud-based systems, and online infrastructure. They assess the risk of online cyber threats from internal and external sources (eg, fraud, theft, embezzlement, hacking, sabotage) and then implement procedures and internal controls to safeguard ICT systems, data, and intellectual property.

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