1.  How do engineers make cyber networks safer?

Cyber engineers incorporate electrical engineering and computer science to understand cyberspace. They use the skills developed in digital forensics, security policy, and network defense to perform cybersecurity tasks. According to Herzing university, network security is important for home networks as well as in the business world. If a business lacks a secure network, it is at risk of being exploited. This can harm a business, and mostly there is going to be a big financial loss. Seeing as how important the safety of cyber networks is, what roles do cyber engineers play to make the network safer? There is always room for improvement when it comes to cybersecurity in order to maximize safety for users. One of the many ways engineers make a cyber network is by installing and using software, such as firewalls and data encryption programs. Engineers are also responsible for creating new cyber networks which is important because it makes it harder for hackers to finder their way to a system. Another way engineers keep cyber networks safe is by designing secure systems at the interface of operational technology and information technology like the digital world. Cyber engineers make networks safer by performing assessments, and penetration testing, by architecting and engineering trusted systems into secure systems, they develop and implement secure network solutions. It is important to update the cyber network in order to patch any weak spots that are seen, this allows good protection for the network against any hackers, and that is what cyber engineers do they continually update the cyber network. Cyber engineers work together to create different ways to solve the existing threats and security issues, this is important because when you work together fresh ideas will be created to solve the problem at hand. Cyber Engineers play a big role to secure a network and their jobs are important for the safety of cyber networks.
