network specialist

RANGE OF ROLES: Network configuration designer, administrator, security specialist.

The role of the network specialist can be summed up as follows: to ensure that all computer systems work as well together as they do separately. Most business and government computers are connected to internal networks. Some are limited to a single building. Others networks cover the entire country. The creation and maintenance of 'always-on' networks, and their protection against security failures and threats – these are tasks that are becoming more important every day.
