One of the best things about digital security is that it’s so widely varied. This means you can choose to specialize in something that you’re particularly interested in, or do a bit of everything.
For instance, a security analyst might spend some time making sure that their organization’s software is up-to-date, investigating suspicious activity on a user’s profile, or checking that all staff are compliant with the current security protocols. Their day-to-day schedule is varied and ever-changing based on the needs of the business.
Then there are the more focused roles, such as forensic analyst. These workers tend to dive much deeper into a specific task, rather than being jack-of-all-trades. They may be exceptionally skilled at finding data that someone has attempted to conceal, after all, but less adept when it comes to setting up and maintaining network hardware.
