Overview

How to Be a Cybersecurity Analyst

  • Assess the threat

  • Determine the risk level

  • Select controls

    • System Security: strip it down to the minimum requirements; configure what’s left over (whitelist: specify what is allowed); patch what you can’t fix; add armor/weapons (methods to block, absorb, parlay); monitor & hunt the bad stuff.

  • Monitor their effectiveness

  • Respond and reduce impact
