Engineers deal with technology everyday and help to setup and program different hardware and software for a variety of networks. They are able to help within cybernetworks to ensure and increased level of safety and security in a variety of ways. One main way would be with penetration testing and network assessments. These tests truly help the engineer have an overall view and understanding of how the network is running and if there are any open vulnerabilities within the network. Once this had been identified, then the engineer can move forward with the best security implementations for the network they are working on. Engineers also aid in protecting the networks by setting up IDS/IPS systems to help monitor the network continuously to help detect any unauthorized access or any malicious attempts on the network. These systems will help to detect and block most issues that can come through but the engineers also use different versions of firewalls to help further the protection of the network. This would limit the traffic coming and going through the network as well as help to set rules for what is and isn’t allowed in. The firewall in addition to the IDS/IPS systems really help to eliminate majority of attacks and content that can be used maliciously. The benefit of having an engineer to help protect the network is that they understand the devices and the flow of the network ad how it runs efficiently so they know the best security solutions, regardless if high tech or a simple solution, to help with the various different attacks such as viruses, worms or any others. Another way they help to keep the network safe is that once they have done assessments and implemented security solutions on the network, they assist in setting and implementing procedures and protocols to help further implement security decisions and help to uphold the recent updates that they have made to fix the any security issues that were present.
