Role

Cybersecurity Analyst

4 reports across 4 companies

Cybersecurity analysts monitor for intrusion and misuse, investigate alerts, run vulnerability assessments and help close the gaps they find. Employers usually want a computing background plus a recognised certification - Security+, CEH or CISSP for more senior posts - and regulated employers increasingly treat it as mandatory. Banks and other supervised financial institutions dominate demand, followed by telecoms, government and outsourcing firms handling client data.
