what is cyber security engineer?

Perhaps you want to work on securing application security for mobile devices, so you decide to pursue a career as an App Sec Engineer. Or, perhaps cryptography is your passion and you decide to put your super math skills to the test developing cryptographic algorithms and methods of encryption for various devices and applications. That is very challenging work, my hats off to those who are knowledgeable and skilled enough to do this or really any other Information Security Engineering type of role. Reverse malware engineers are also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at being able to read and dissect code to figure out what cybercriminals and state actors are trying to achieve with their malware tools.

Reverse Engineering (RE) is another fascinating topic of study and a personal favorite of mine. But there’s nothing plain-Jane about just focusing on helping to design secure Internet protocols (see IETF and IEEE) or computer chips. There are so many subsets of InfoSec Engineering that I think if you have any kind of interest in computers and cybersecurity, you should not be hard-pressed to find at least one area that you would enjoy specializing in.
