Cybersecurity Analyst
A Cybersecurity Analyst protects an organisation's computer systems, networks, and data from cyber threats, breaches, and attacks. They monitor security infrastructure, analyse vulnerabilities, respond to incidents, and implement defensive measures. Working across industries, these professionals use tools like SIEM platforms, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to safeguard sensitive information. They stay current with evolving threat landscapes and compliance requirements such as NIST, ISO 27001, and HIPAA to ensure robust security postures.
