How do engineers make cyber networks safer?

Cyber networks are composed of a combination of hardware and software. Engineers are able to make the networks safer at different stages of development. Hardware engineers develop and monitor how computer systems and networks are set up and run. The processing systems can be vulnerable to cyber attacks if certain measures aren’t implemented such as separate circuits, testing computer chips, and anything related to the physical processors. Software engineers make cyber networks safer by developing programs and software that can prevent, intercept, or track cyber security attacks. These programs provide additional assistance to prevent the problems from happening. Furthermore, there are cyber security engineers, sometimes they are called information security engineers. These engineers identify threats and vulnerabilities in different systems and software’s used by different companies and organizations. They develop and implement solutions to defend against all types of cyber crimes including hacking, malware, and ransomware. These cyber crimes are the things that can really hurt a business and cause them to owe thousands or millions of dollars down the road. The last type of engineer that makes cyber networks safer is an Information Technology Engineer. Information Technology Engineers find troubles within a system and design new information technology systems within an organization.
