Analyzing and spotting potential threats to a company’s computer networks, data, and systems are the responsibilities of a cybersecurity analyst. Although the technological parts of the work are the main focus, cybersecurity analysts must also have a solid knowledge about human psychology.

Hackers frequently employ social engineering methods to get private data. In order to do this, people must be tricked into giving over important information or granting access to computer systems. Cybersecurity analysts need to be aware of these ploys and devise countermeasures.
