Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic services and any attacks to the system. In cyber security, the processes, technologies and practices are designed to protect networks, devices and data from any external attacks. By using hardware and software, it protects any data that is sent through your computer and other devices.
Artificial Intelligence is playing a pivotal role in Cyber Security. With the latest technology, it can detect viruses and complex algorithms to run recognition patterns in cyber security.
In this field, your duties will encompass:
- Monitor the network and identify irregular activity.
- Employ prevention tools against attacks.
- Use vulnerability management systems on the premise and the cloud.
- Educate the employees on safety browsing and ways to identify malicious activity.
