The increased concerns about cybercrime in organizations have opened up stable careers in the cybersecurity industry.

They have been onboarding experts that are knowledgeable in different attacks or threats, and improving the security architecture of the organization.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- General cybersecurity roles
