Security Systems is not a simple word to be simply defined or described as a unit, it's many classes and types like:

  • Physical Security (Road Blockers, Gate Barriers, Turnstiles ... etc.)
  • Low current Security Systems (CCTV, Access Control, Intrusion Detection, Fire Alarm, ... etc.)
  • Security Over Networks (Hacking, Computer Viruses, Stealing Information, ... etc.)

And each Type has its unique relation with IT, so it's not correct to just consider the Security Systems as a unit.

The proliferation of cyber crime means businesses and government agencies around the globe face constant threats to their financial information, customer data, and military and trade secrets. It’s the role of cybersecurity specialists to protect organizations and the public from hackers, scammers and other online criminals.

The growing demand for cybersecurity specialists can be seen in national employment projections. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs in this category will increase by37% during the decade ending in2022. That’s more than triple the average growth rate (11%) for all occupations in the United States.

What is a Cybersecurity Specialist?

Cybersecurity specialists work with organizations to keep their computer information systems secure. They determine who requires access to which information, and then plan, coordinate and implement information security programs. Using a multi-layered approach, they use their specialized expertise and up-to-date knowledge to help protect against Web threats that facilitate cyber crime, including malware, phishing, viruses, denial-of-service attacks, information warfare and hacking.
