  • Install and manage wired and wireless networks, adhering to standards and using modern testing tools
  • Assess security risks and identify potential threats to hardware, software, and physical location
  • Conduct risk mitigation for systems, hardware and peripherals
  • Implement disaster recovery procedures and security contingency plans
