An IT Security Professional must be prepared to provide IDS monitoring, analysis, and offer incident response to information security alerts events, analyze network traffic and IDS alerts, assess, prioritize and differentiate between potential intrusion attempts and false alarms, launch and track investigations to resolution, compose and send alert notifications, and advise incident responders in the steps to take to investigate and resolve computer security incidents.

If you're thinking this is for you, then you can count on needing security certifications such as CISSP, Security+, Network+, MCITP, CCNA or SSCP, CEH, CPEH. You must be familiar with the tasks done by Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT), Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), Computer Security Incident Response Center (CSIRC) or a Security Operations Center (SOC). You need experience with Anti-Virus, Intrusion Detection Systems, Firewalls, Active Directory, Vulnerability Assessment tools and other components found in large network environments.

It all starts with certification, education, and a strong desire to work hard. In 2010 there is expected to be an increase in sales of security appliances and client security software. Most solution providers feel it's shaping up to be another good year to be involved in IT security. This means more firewalls and network security, more security hardware, software...and yes that will lead to the number one question on all of our minds ... JOBS!
