Cyber Security Specialist

A cyber security specialist helps protect computer systems, networks, and data from cyber attacks such as hacking, viruses, and fraud. Their work is very important for organisations like banks, schools, hospitals, and government departments. Day-to-day tasks include monitoring computer networks for threats, setting up firewalls, and responding to security incidents. Cyber security specialists also advise organisations on how to keep their information safe and may train others in cyber safety. To become a cyber security specialist, you usually need strong IT skills and sometimes a degree or apprenticeship in a related subject. This career suits people who enjoy solving problems and learning about technology.
