Information security analysts
By: Cameron Trivers
Information security analysts make an annual salary of $86,170 per year. There are many people employed as an information security analyst, 75,100 to be exact. Information security analysts have very important jobs. They always have to be one step in front of cyber attackers (hackers). Analysts need to research new security technology to decide what will most effectively protect their organization. They must stay up to date on the latest methods the hackers are using to get into computer systems and on IT security. People the love to work with computers would do well in this job. A Bachelor’s degree in computer-related field is required for this job. Some advice I would give someone interested in this job is to be able to stop cyber-attackers from trying to steal/ get into (hack) important files. One reason a person would want this this job is because it is a good paying job. Also if they love computers, people would probably love this job.
