Today's technology allows businesses to store, retrieve and maintain information electronically through computer systems and networks. The more business and communities connect, the higher the threat of attacks on business computer systems. The need for businesses to secure all of the data has led to an increasing demand for information technology professionals with advanced skills in network and computer security. A network security engineer ensures an organization's systems and networks are secure.
Most of these professionals obtain a bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related discipline. Many technical schools, colleges and universities now offer degree programs in computer and network security. Certification from computer networking and system providers can increase employment opportunities. Employers that require high-security levels of systems and networks often seek out "hackers" to hire, because they're the experts regarding potential security flaws in a network. CNN reported the U.S. Security Agency attended the DEFCON hacker's convention in 2011 looking for recruits and to learn more about how network security systems are breached. Not all employers look to hire hackers. Most employers require only strong skills related to different types of networking systems and products, firewall products, local, wide and virtual networks and the ability to investigate and disable network security breaches.
The salary can vary greatly for network security engineers, depending on the requirements of the job. Network security engineer jobs are in high demand, so opportunities should be plentiful. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects 23 percent job growth for network security engineers and related computer and system administration professionals through next several years. To stay abreast of new security threats and changing technologies, these professionals learn new skills throughout their professional career. Network security engineers that reported their salaries to PayScale earned an average salary ranging from $48,000 to $114,000 per year in 2011. Certifications such as the Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CompTIA Security+, Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Certified Ethical Hacker were obtain by those who reported their wages.
