Their job duties include: analyzing network traffic patterns; configuring firewalls; implementing intrusion detection systems (IDSs); setting up virus protection software; creating policies and procedures related to computer security; monitoring system performance; conducting vulnerability scans on computers or networks; writing reports about IT risks and mitigation strategies based on findings gathered during threat assessments or risk analyses. Additionally they may also be called upon to investigate incidents such as hacking attempts where malicious actors attempt access unauthorized information or disrupt services through technical means. Cybersecurity engineers use their knowledge of cryptography techniques in some cases so that only authorized personnel can gain access sensitive information stored online while preventing others with malicious intent from gaining access it by using encryption methods like public-key infrastructure (PKI).
