Engineers are important for many things. They are used for infrastructure, planning on building different businesses, for example their buildings. However, another piece of technology that engineers are known for creating are cyber technology, security, and networks for businesses and websites. Engineers are one of the key factors when developing Cyber Technology. Cybersecurity engineers identify threats and vulnerabilities in the systems that they create, applying skills that they have learned in order to develop counters to hacking, malware, and ransomware. This also extends to most cybercrime.

It is important for businesses and small owners with websites to have someone to create this online protection for them as it is easy for hackers to gain and spread private information that is stored on their servers. At times, it can be so dangerous, these hackers can even take over the server entirely, demanding someone in return for the keys to gain access again. (In this case, It is usually money of some kind. An example of this is crypto currency.) A way that engineers counter this issue is by keeping up to date with modern hacks, despite always ending up being second in the race to online protection.

Another way engineers make cyber networks safer is the ability for companies to store information safely online, whether its on their own servers, or on a private network separate from the company. How engineers help with this issue is by using the knowledge they know from looking at how previous and modern hacks, and how they may of been successful or failed. Then they take that gained knowledge and help create new ways to counter the successful hacks, while reinforcing the old hacks that failed. It is always important to know how many different individuals work on our systems and networks, and how much goes on in the background, as well as the trial and errors.
