of work environments, including professional
offices, small businesses, government,
and large corporations.
They maintain network hardware and software,
analyze problems, and monitor the network

They also gather data to identify customer

They may be called on to educate users on computer security, install security software, monitor the network for security breaches, respond to cyber attacks, and in some cases, gather data and evidence to be used in prosecuting cyber crime.
