What is a Cybersecurity Analyst?
A cybersecurity analyst is a guardian of computer systems and networks, tasked with protecting an organisation from cyber threats. They are skilled in identifying vulnerabilities, monitoring network traffic, and implementing strategies to fortify security infrastructure.
Their expertise is crucial in preventing data breaches, ensuring compliance with various regulatory frameworks, and promoting a culture of awareness regarding cybersecurity within the organisation.
In Australia, the demand for cybersecurity analysts is soaring, driven by an escalating number of cyber-attacks and a national commitment to bolstering cyber defence. This emerging field offers not just a lucrative career but a chance to play an important role in a world where cyber threats are an ever-evolving menace.
On average, cybersecurity analysts make anywhere from AU $95,000 to as high as AU $170,000 annually.

Our reviews
Great experience with CR, from the 1 on 1 support sessions, hands on labs, to nailing the exams. Came to Cyber Revolution looking to enter the cyber industry from scratch and successfully did so. Without Cyber Revolution’s help and study material I wouldn’t have been able to land a 6 figure job in my first year in the industry.
—Tim
Everyone was really nice and they were always on board with my specific path. A few times they helped realign my status and pace according to what I was doing in real life according to the pace of the studies. The online computer labs module was really really good too.
— Gil
I have no background in IT at all but the people in Cyber Revolution has faith on people like me that wants a career change and is willing to do in hard work. They were not pushy on the initial interview prior to applying on the said program but they will help you realised if this field is possible for you. Since Day 1 from my onboarding I have been guided, monitored weekly how I am going with my study, if I need more resources by my lovely support officer Charisse. Which is great because it helps you to be on track. I still have a long way to go but I am so positive with this journey with Cyber revolution. Cheers!

A cyber security analyst keeps an organisation’s digital properties safe. They protect them from online attacks. Here are some of the responsibilities they may perform:
- Security systems monitoring: Watching out for any breaches in security or indications of suspicious activities on computer networks, applications and systems.
- Vulnerability management: Discovering and assessing glitches in apps as well as systems then providing appropriate fixes via patches and updating them accordingly.
- Security testing: Performing vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and conducting audits aimed at identifying weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the organisational security system.
- Incident response: This means responding to many security incidents. They include formal investigations into rule-breaking. You also take corrective measures. These measures limit the damage from each incident.
- Enforcement of security policies: The enforcement can include ensuring adherence to industry best practices while conforming to stipulated cybersecurity regulations, among others.
- Threat intelligence analysis: Keeping an eye on emerging cyber threats by tracking trends to prepare early enough to face risks associated with them.
Cyber security analysts prevent unauthorised access to data. They protect the organisation’s safety.
You become a cyber security analyst with education, experience, and certifications. Below is one way you can do it:
- Education: Get a bachelor’s degree in fields like Computer Science, Information Technology or Cybersecurity. Some employers may accept people who have worked a long time or have associate degrees. But, they mainly look for those with a bachelor’s degree from university.
- Gain experience: Work as an intern or take entry-level positions within the IT/CS field where you can get hands-on practice. These experiences will help you improve your knowledge about how you should work better as a cyber-security analyst.
- Earn certifications: Go ahead and earn relevant certificates that show your capabilities and seriousness in that particular field. For example, the best credentials include CompTIA Security+ and CISSP. Also, CEH and GCIH.
- Continuing education: Keep yourself informed about the latest developments on measures to counter cyber crime through continuous education, CPD points, conferences and workshops.
By following these stages while progressively improving your abilities you can make a way for yourself as an analyst in the security area.
In becoming a cyber security analyst, there are complications due to the changing nature of threats, especially with the technology involved. This will entail having an in-depth understanding of networking computers, operating systems, tools for protection and attacking methods besides being a critical thinker who can solve problems or communicate properly. Still, many people have gone into successful careers as cyber-security analysts. They did it by committing to constant learning over time.
However, cyber security analyst jobs do not always require an undergraduate degree. But, most employers prefer candidates with at least a bachelor’s degree. The practical knowledge gained from working experience alongside industry-based certifications proving competence in digital defence often outweighs formal academic qualifications among staff members.
Though, having a degree will make you more marketable by giving you basic knowledge in computer science, IT or internet security, while acquiring other professional qualifications can compensate for the lack of degrees thereby showing dedication.
