Computer Network Security

The tools of computer security specialists include firewalls, antivirus software, virtual private networks, intrusion detection systems, anti-spyware and the latest encryption technologies. It’s all about ensuring privacy and information integrity and defending networks against attacks. But a network security specialist is definitely not tied to a computer screen all day. Typical duties include:

• Backing up files
• Monitoring network traffic
• Installing password protection procedures
• Protecting databases
• Installing spam filtering software
• Setting permissions on a server
• Configuring wireless security features
• Assisting desktop PC users

Computer network security is one of today’s hottest careers. Any organization that handles data or conducts e-commerce requires some level of security. The volume of sensitive data generated is constantly expanding, inviting cyber-attacks. As a result, data integrity, backup systems and database security have become increasingly important aspects of the job of database administrators.
