Information Security Analyst Jobs in District of Columbia

An Information Security Analyst is essential in the technology industry as they are responsible for securing an organization's computer systems and networks. Their duties include planning and implementing security measures to protect sensitive information from cyber threats, monitoring the organization's networks for security breaches, and investigating violations when they occur.

Certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) are highly beneficial.
