Network and system administration is the practice of managing a computer network and its security. This vital role is timely and complex, as modern networks are vulnerable to malicious and disruptive forces. Network administrators must be knowledgeable about the most up to date security threats and protocols in order to protect their networks from compromise. Understandably, this role requires a deep understanding of operating systems, server administration, software tools, and network infrastructure components. Security measures used by network administrators include firewalls, encryption techniques, secure passwords, access control rules, intrusion detection systems and data log analysis.
