FAQ's
What does a Cyber Security Engineer do?Cyber security engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and implementing security measures to protect an organization’s data and infrastructure from malicious cyberattacks. They analyze threats and vulnerabilities by studying networks, systems, hardware, or software; determine the best means of protection; develop secure architectures; and create policies that define proper use of information assets. Cyber security engineers also conduct penetration testing, monitor system performance, and respond to incidents. |
What is social engineering in cyber security?Social engineering in cyber security refers to the use of psychological manipulation techniques to gain unauthorized access to confidential or restricted data and information. By exploiting the human element, attackers are able to manipulate people into revealing confidential information or otherwise compromising a system's security. Common examples include baiting, phishing, pretexting, quid pro quo, shoulder surfing and tailgating. |
Do cyber security engineers work from home?Yes, cyber security engineers can work from home. Many companies allow their cyber security engineers to work remotely, either full-time or part-time. This allows for greater flexibility and freedom in terms of when and where the engineer can perform their duties. |
What is the average salary of a Cyber Security Engineer in the UK?Salaries may vary depending on experience and location. Those working in London can expect to earn higher salaries due to the cost of living being much higher than elsewhere in the country. Cyber security engineers are also likely to receive additional benefits such as bonuses and company benefits, increasing their overall salary.
