Cyber Security

A Cyber Security professional underpins the operational foundations of most organisations. It is key for Cyber Security professionals to protect computer networks from cyber-attacks and unauthorised access in order to reduce data breaches and attacks. This is done by trying to anticipate and predict potential cyber threats and responding to them when they do happen. 

This is an exciting, fast-paced career in which no two days will be the same. There are many varied and exciting specialisms you can explore which provide endless opportunities across a wide range of sectors. 

With organisations using more and more digital technologies to host and operate their businesses, a Cyber Security professional is sure to be at the top of the list for organisations when it comes to data protection.  Deciding whether a career in Cyber Security is for you, is a personal choice, that depends on your interests, skills, and career goals.

The responsibilities of a Cyber Security Professional may differ due to the task at hand, whether that is day-to-day ongoing maintenance or a disruptive data breach - no two days are the same.  

Once you have more experience with hands-on job tasks, further responsibilities in Cyber Security may include looking after a team of IT and Cyber experts or working on high-risk projects for bigger, corporate clients.
