Computer Network Security Careers

The tools of computer security specialists include firewalls, antivirus software, virtual private networks, intrusion detection systems, anti-spyware and the latest encryption technologies. It's all about ensuring privacy and information integrity and defending networks against attacks. But a network security specialist is definitely not tied to a computer screen all day. Typical duties include:

  • Backing up files
  • Monitoring network traffic
  • Installing password protection procedures
  • Protecting databases
  • Installing spam filtering software
  • Setting permissions on a server
  • Configuring wireless security features
  • Assisting desktop PC users

Computer network security is one of today's hottest careers. Any organization that handles data or conducts e-commerce requires some level of security. The volume of sensitive data generated is constantly expanding, inviting cyber-attacks. As a result, data integrity, backup systems and database security have become increasingly important aspects of the job of database administrators.
