Todo o mundo An IT Security Professional is someone responsible for protecting the networks, infrastructure and systems for a business or organisation.
What is IT Security?
IT Security is the information security which is applied to technology and computer systems. It focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unauthorised access or damage. IT Security can also be referred to as Cyber Security. IT Security plays a vital role within the government, military, finance companies, hospitals and many private businesses as they store a large amount of data and information on their computer systems that need to be kept secure.
What does it entail?
The main use for IT Security and the main role for an IT Security specialist is to:
Protect computer systems by creating barriers deterring external access to them
Recognise problems within systems by identifying uncharacteristic activity
Assess current situations with the network security and carry out audits
Implement improvements where needed and keep the users informed by completing performance reports on a regular basis to communicate the status of the system security.
The general working hours of an IT Security specialist will be the normal 37 or 40 hours a week. However, you will likely have the responsibility of being on call 24/7 in case of any security breaches. You will need to be aware of this. |
