What is a Cyber Security Analyst? Top skills to seek

These IT security skills can vary significantly depending on the level of expertise required for the role. Understanding the responsibilities your cybersecurity specialist requires will help us find you the best match.

Understanding and identifying potential threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors is essential for proactive defence. Threat analysis skills allow Cyber Security Analysts to assess risks, monitor threats, and implement strategies to mitigate security breaches before they happen.

Proficiency in securing networks, including firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems, is vital for preventing unauthorised access. Network security expertise ensures the analyst can safeguard sensitive data and maintain the organisation’s operational integrity.

The ability to detect, investigate, and respond to security breaches quickly is critical for cyber security experts. Incident response skills minimise damage, reduce downtime, and address vulnerabilities promptly to prevent future attacks.

Experience with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools like Splunk or ArcSight is key to monitoring and analysing security data. These tools help Cyber Security Analysts detect anomalies, identify threats, and provide real-time incident management.

Knowledge of ethical hacking and penetration testing techniques helps identify system vulnerabilities. This skill enables Cyber Security Analysts to simulate attacks, uncover weaknesses, and reinforce defences to stay ahead of potential hackers.
