A Security Analyst monitors and protects an organisation’s computer systems and networks. You might work in a corporate office, a government agency, or a technology firm. Security Analysts focus on identifying potential threats, implementing security measures, and responding to security breaches. You’ll analyse security protocols, perform risk assessments, and manage security tools to safeguard sensitive information.

Security Analysts play a crucial role in maintaining data integrity and security. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and analytical, with a strong understanding of cybersecurity principles.
