Module 10 Journal(CYSE201)

Some responsibilities Nicole listed for a cybersecurity analyst are:

Responding to phishing and intrusion attempts

I feel that technical and social skills play into this responsibility. Technical skills are needed to assess what happened in the incident, and social skills/ working with a team are important to develop a plan for dealing with the incident.

Assist in remediation of vulnerabilities

Technical skills and systemic thinking are essential for remediation of vulnerabilities. Technical skills are required to understand vulnerabilities and how to remediate them, while systemic thinking is necessary to think of how a vulnerability can affect networks and systems.

Provide guidance and training for cyber awareness

Providing cyber awareness and guidance requires team players, social skills, and communications skills. When providing cyber training, professionals must be able to explain technical concepts to non-technical people in a manner that is easy for them to understand. This requires good social and communication skills as well as a team player mindset.

Patching computers

Patching computers requires the technical skills necessary to perform the procedure, and also the civic duty to not tamper with the machine or view others data without explicit permission.
