1. How do engineers make cyber networks safer?

Engineering and cyber security are closely related careers and can’t work without one another. Engineers ensure that networks are safe, secure, and running for optimal performance. For people working as engineers in the public service and utilities, they’re always making sure that services are always reliable and safe. With cyber professionals tracking and managing all the different ways that their clients or themselves got attacked by, engineers can then use that information to figure out where in the networks are vulnerable to attacks and later patch them. This is extremely useful and important as they can fix weak spots in their network which would help anyone that is on that network. With technology advancing, so are networks. With knowing all the ways that their network got attacked by, updates can be made and would make networks safer to use. That being said, having proper knowledge of how networks are being attacked, engineers can use similar tactics that cyber security professionals use when securing their data and create plans for future attacks and how to stop someone that is already in your network. Having these constant updates and repairs to the network is important to making networks safer and secure as unauthorized users will have a much harder time trying to breach a system than before the patch. With computers being so easy to access and where sensitive information is just a click away, it is obvious to see that networks will have to keep changing and becoming more secure as hackers are finding new mischievous ways to trick people and hack their systems. As long as cyber engineers are continuously tracking ways that systems are getting attacked, they will always have the proper knowledge to update their networks to make it safe and secure. Cyber crime will continue to happen but that only shows the importance of cyber security and why having a safe and secure network is important.
