Cyber Security Specialist

Cyber Security Specialists manage an organisation’s ICT security. They have preventative strategies in place to stop unauthorised access of the system — as well as manage unplanned outages due to power loss, system overloads, and natural disasters.

As a Cyber Security Specialist you’ll have extensive backup and data recovery procedures in place. You’ll also need the skills to assess security risks and document the ICT risk management plan for senior management.
