breaches may occur or have occurred, and restore or reinforce systems against such breaches, to ensure that confidential data is protected. This role could deliberately attempting to hack into our employer's network to expose any weaknesses. Alternatively, we could work as a computer forensics analyst or investigator to combat the increasing phenomenon of cyber-crime. A similar role to an IT consultant, an information systems manager is usually a full-time member of staff, responsible for the secure and effective operation of computer systems within their company. We'll be responsible (perhaps with the help of a team of IT staff) for the entire upkeep of the ICT infrastructure within our organization, with typical tasks involving the overseeing of system installation; ensuring systems are backed-up and that the back-up systems are operating effectively; purchasing hardware and software; setting up secure access for all users; ensuring security of data from internal and external attack; and providing IT support and advice for users. We'll need to make sure the ICT facilities meet the needs of our company and are current, while remaining within a set budget, and within all relevant software licensing laws. We may also need an understanding of business and management principles in order to contribute to organizational policy regarding quality standards and strategic planning in relation to IT. A database administrator (DBA) is responsible for accurately and securely using, developing and maintaining the performance, integrity and security of a computerized database. The specific role is always determined by the organization in question but is likely to mean being involved purely in database maintenance or specialized in database development. The role is also dependent on the type of database and processes and capabilities of the database management systems (DBMS) in use in our particular organization. Typically, this role includes ensuring data remains consistent, is clearly defined, easily accessible, is secure and can be recovered in an emergency. We'll also be required to troubleshoot should any problems arise; liaise with programmers, operational staff, IT project managers and technical staff; provide user training, support and feedback; and write reports, documentation and operating manuals. A multimedia programmer is responsible for designing and creating multimedia computer products, making sure they're functional and maintaining fidelity to a designer's specification. We'll use creative as well as technical skills to develop multimedia features including text, sound, graphics, digital photography, 2D/3D modelling, animation and video. We'll need to work with the designer to understand the design concept, discuss how it can be technically implemented, identify the operational rules necessary, write efficient computer code or script to make the features work, run tests of the product to test for bugs and rewrite or add new code if necessary. We'll also be available for technical help after the product is completed and need to keep abreast of industry news and developments in order to suggest and implement improvements. include 'ethical hacking', meaning
