Career Overview
Network administrators and computer systems administrators design, install, and support an organization’s local-area network (LAN),
wide-area network (WAN), network segment, Internet, or intranet system. They
provide day-to-day onsite administrative support for software users in a variety
of work environments, including professional offices, small businesses,
government, and large corporations. They maintain network hardware and software,
analyze problems, and monitor the network to ensure its availability to system
users.Network Administrators troubleshoot problems reported by users and by automated
network monitoring systems and make recommendations for enhancements in the
implementation of future servers and networks. Network administrators also may plan, coordinate, and implement network
security measures.
In some organizations, computer security specialists may plan,
coordinate, and implement the organization’s information security. These workers
may be called upon to educate users about computer security, install security
software, monitor the network for security breaches, respond to cyber attacks,
and, in some cases, gather data and evidence to be used in prosecuting cyber
crime. The responsibilities of computer security specialists has increased in
recent years as there has been a large increase in the number of cyber attacks
on data and networks. This and other growing specialty occupations reflect an
increasing emphasis on client-server applications, the expansion of Internet and
intranet applications, and the demand for more end-user support.
