Why a Career in Incident Response (Cybersecurity)?
As cyber attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, the demand for incident response professionals who possess quick thinking and savvy techniques to secure systems is on the rise. These professionals are crucial in responding to security incidents and reducing the damage inflicted upon organisations, making the career path of incident response an exciting and dynamic field in the world of cybersecurity.
Network Security focuses on protecting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of an organisation’s network infrastructure. This involves implementing strategies and tools to detect, prevent, and respond to unauthorised access, data breaches, and other cyber threats targeting networks.
Digital Forensics involves the identification, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence following a security breach or cyberattack. It plays a vital role in investigating cyber incidents, understanding how they occurred, and ensuring the evidence is admissible in legal proceedings when necessary.
Together, these domains are essential for safeguarding digital systems and responding effectively to cyber threats in today’s increasingly interconnected world.
Graduates equipped with expertise in Network Security and Digital Forensics can explore advanced roles such as:
- Network Security Engineer
- Digital Forensic Analyst
- Ethical Hacker (Penetration Tester)
- Security Auditor
- Incident Response Specialist
- AI Security Specialist
- Cybersecurity Consultant
