Organizations handle and store sensitive data on their servers and computers, including proprietary information, employees’ records, account information and more.

Mishandling this information can be damaging and dangerous to an organization. Cybersecurity Specialists develop, improve and monitor security measures to protect an organization’s computer networks and connected devices to prevent malicious access of information and the systems they reside in. Increased digital recordkeeping and data dissemination has led to an increase in demand for cybersecurity specialists in Canada.
