Career Paper: Cybersecurity Administrator & Social Sciences
Introduction
As technology has continued to improve over the years, this has allowed the cybersecurity discourse community to flourish. Since cybercrime has become a common occurrence for individuals on the internet, it has caused an increase in demand for cybersecurity professionals. Currently, cybersecurity has a 0% unemployment rate. This paper will discuss the daily routine of a cybersecurity administrator and how social science principles correlate with cybersecurity administrators.
Cybersecurity Administrator Routine
First, cybersecurity administrators’ daily routine consists of system checks, monitor networks, and writing security reports (A Day in the Life of a Cybersecurity Professional, 2024). Cybersecurity administrators are tasked with managing the safety of the business’ systems, networks, applications, devices, hardware, and software (Cybersecurity Administrator Salary and Career Path | CyberSN, 2024). Cybersecurity administrators usually work in teams to innovate and discuss potential ideas to best protect networks from cybercriminals. Also, there will be times where they will have to communicate cyber threats to less technologically savvy decision-makers in human resource management, so everyone is on the same page (Dawson & Thomson, 2018). The previous example is a good representation of determinism because it shows that different departments are still related through cybersecurity.
