An Information Security Manager (also known as an IT Security Specialist) plays a vital role in a company’s cyber security. They often manage a team of IT specialists with the goal of protecting the company’s computers, networks and data against security breaches. They also ensure that the company can recover very quickly if such a breach occurs.

While the specific duties of your Security Specialist will depend on the needs of your company, typically they will be involved in the day to day management of your network’s security hardware and software. If required in the role of a manager, they will be responsible for training and supervising your IT security staff, as well as providing digital security training to your other employees.
As cyber security specialists, their role demands that they remain at the forefront of information regarding current and potential online threats and the most recent and cutting edge protocols for addressing them. Some of these risks include DOS attacks (Denial Of Service), Hacking (unauthorised access to networks), Pharming (redirections to fake websites), Phishing, Viruses, Spyware, Worms and Trojans.
The Information Security Manager or IT Security Specialist will also assess and minimise network risks (identifying and securing any weak points) and upgrade and test existing security systems, even design new systems if required. They will also test your security systems by simulating breaches and develop a disaster and recovery plan if a security breach does occur.
Tasks performed by cyber security specialists may include:
An offshore cyber security specialist will have a degree in computer information systems, computer science or similar field. They will also possess outstanding communication skills, excellent attention to detail, problem solving, analytical and time management skills.
