In an era where businesses rely heavily on interconnected networks to operate, the role of network engineers has expanded beyond maintaining connectivity to ensuring the security of the entire infrastructure. Network security is a crucial component of cybersecurity, and organizations need skilled network engineers who can design, build, and maintain secure networks that protect sensitive data. Talent Solutions Group, Inc. (TSG) specializes in providing network engineers with the expertise to strengthen your organization’s cybersecurity posture.
The Role of Network Engineers in Cybersecurity
Network engineers are responsible for designing and maintaining secure networks that prevent unauthorized access and cyber threats. Their cybersecurity-related responsibilities include:
