What is a security auditor?
A security auditor is an IT professional in charge of evaluating cybersecurity for a company. As a security auditor, you regularly test information systems, looking for exploits or loopholes that would give an unscrupulous individual access to protected company information. Your job duties also include developing security protocols and working with other teams within the company to ensure everyone is kept up to date with the best practices and other protocols. You must also keep track of relevant laws and regulations, as well as new security threats, to maintain proper cybersecurity for your employer.
