Work in the field of electronic discovery or eDiscovery!

Electronic discovery or eDiscovery is the electronic aspect of identifying, collecting and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in response to a request for legal proceedings or investigations. ESI includes, but is not limited to, emails, documents, presentations, databases, voicemail, audio and video files, social media, and web sites.

The advantages of a records management system is evident if a company becomes involved in a lawsuit. Being able to locate relevant information quickly reduces electronic discovery costs in two ways.
Firstly, it allows for effective collaboration between in-house and outside counsel when fashioning discovery plans
Secondly, it decreases the amount of time taken to produce documents, which will protect the company from rising e-discovery costs

This is why many managers are allocating a greater portion of their information technology budgets for computer and network security.

Be protectors of computer networks as Network security specialists!

Network security specialists monitor computer networks for security threats or unauthorized users. They analyze security risks and develop response procedures. They determine who have access to which information, and then plan, coordinate and implement information security programs.

In addition, they develop and test software deployment tools, firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Using a multi-layered approach, they use their expertise and up-to-date knowledge to help protect against Web threats that facilitate cyber crime, including malware, phishing, viruses, denial-of-service attacks, information warfare and hacking.
