In your response, describe the tools, skills, and certifications your peer would need to be successful in the identified role. Additionally, describe at least one other role that these skills and certifications could be used in.

Security has always been my passion for IT. I want to become an Information security analyst. Information security analyst plans and carries out security measures to protect an organization’s computer networks and systems. The median annual wage for information security analysts was $98,350 in May 2018. Most information security analysts work for computer companies, consulting firms, or business and financial companies. Most information security analyst positions require a bachelor’s degree in a computer-related field. Employers usually prefer to hire analysts with experience in a related occupation. Work experience related to this occupation is less than five years.

Computer network architects plan, design and build custom networks to fulfill the specific needs of businesses and organizations. Architects are responsible for maintaining the network, including performing hardware and software updates, regular security and performance checks, diagnosing and troubleshooting problems, and analyzing traffic trends to predict upgrades needed for capacity growth. Architects help businesses by providing a network suitable for their needs, but also by maintaining the growth of their network as their business expands.
