The way that engineers make cyber networks safer is their main responsibility and protecting the networks from unauthorized access, data breaches, cyber-threats, and the other malicious things that go on. The engineers’ focus is to improve the network security processes and help the networks and systems continue to be secure and efficient. The engineers will identify network security threats, analyze threats and vulnerabilities, develop security policies and processes, and do auditing and testing of the networks.

The engineers are responsible for designing and applying secure networks, practices, and the different protocols that will stop cyber-attacks from occurring and taking companies and organizations personal data. The engineers will use a lot of different tools that can monitor a company’s data and the different threats they receive. Though I have found out that a lot of cyber-security engineers will work close to the IT personnel to help with structure with the protection of the company. The engineers really work on staying on top of the latest cyber networks and the evolving of the different attacks.
