A Network Security Analyst is an expert who safeguards computer networks and systems from potential security breaches. They assess the security requirements of an organization's network infrastructure and implement appropriate measures to protect against cyber threats. Network Security Analysts monitor network traffic, detect and analyze security incidents, conduct vulnerability assessments, and develop and enforce security policies and procedures. Their primary objective is to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the network while minimizing the risks associated with unauthorized access and data breaches.
