1. How do engineers make cyber networks safer?

Engineers make cyber networks safer by implementing designs of the networks that are structured in place to minimize cyber attacks. Ways that this is done is through performing assessments and penetration testing, development and implementation of secure network solutions, architecting and engineering trusted systems into secure systems, managing audit/intrusion and security technology systems. Cyber engineers teach the importance of the necessary precautions to keep a safe cyber networks as well. Engineers also encryptions protocols that are set in place to secure data transmission. This will assure that when information is intercepted the data will remain encrypted to the intercepter which will still require the authorized user to use the decryption key to access the information. Cyber engineers are regularly scanning for networks that will identify any vulnerabilities that cyber criminals can exploit. After detecting these certain vulnerabilities, cyber engineering will perform patches amongst them. Cyber engineers also set up firewalls to make cyber networks more secure which is designed to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic, burdening and potential threats and unauthorized access. Firewalls can also prevent Denial-of-service (Dos) attacks by recognizing patterns associated with such attacks and blocking the malicious traffic. Firewalls also maintain logs of network activities, providing administrations with insights into potential security threats. This helps with security audits and forensics analysis. Cyber engineers also implement access control by employing methods like two-factor authentication, limiting user privileges, and using robust authentication protocols. User education and training is necessary and essential for cyber security to do to further improve and consistently train users in the best practices which helps create vigilant security workforces. All of the information that is stated above are protocols that engineers work on and set in place to improve and implement on networks to ensure the safety per networks around the world.
