Cyber Security Architect Courses

Cyber Security Architects are high-end ICT professionals who design and build cyber security systems to protect an organisation’s digital assets, computer networks, and online infrastructure from hacking and security breaches. They identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in existing systems and then design updates (as well as complete rebuilds) that directly address emerging cyber threats.

As a Cyber Security Architect you could be running tests to identify weaknesses in the organisation’s security system, developing operating procedures that determine who can access sensitive information, investigating unusual activity on the network, coding a system rebuild with the support of junior cyber security analysts, working with a disaster planning project team, meeting with the executive committee to ensure that the organisation’s security strategy is aligned with real-world threats to its business technologies and online infrastructure.

To succeed in this occupation you’ll need highly-developed technical skills in coding, encryption, and system analysis as well as the ability to supervise, deploy, and train junior technicians and cyber security analysts.
