What It Means

Consumers, businesses and government rely on the Internet and web services for information and communications. Managing the transfer of data and access to the Internet requires reliability, privacy and security in cyberspace. In our digital world, an attack on one computer may affect multiple systems. Unauthorized access may result in financial loss, release of confidential information, damaged computer facilities, costly staff time to restore operations, embarrassment by cyber vandals and diminished reputation.

Organizations use systems security professionals to design, configure, implement, manage, support and secure reliable computer systems that provide security and privacy to businesses and consumers. The responsibilities of professionals in this field have increased in recent years as cyber attacks have become more sophisticated.¹ Employees with skills and knowledge in systems security have become part of many information technology infrastructure teams.
