Cryptologists also commonly known as Cryptographers usually find employment options in government agencies as well as the private sector. These highly trained professionals decipher coded messages and are often involved in creating the secret codes that are used for communicating military secrets, protecting governments, disguising spy communications, and encrypting medical information from prying eyes on the World Wide Web. Although the military and government usually employ cryptologists, others find employment in law enforcement agencies, financial service firms, and banks to offer protection from identity thieves.
3. Computer Forensic Investigator
Commonly known as forensic analysts, computer forensic investigators are hired by law enforcement agencies or private consulting firms to retrieve information from computers for evidence in criminal investigations. With their advanced knowledge in hacking, computer forensics, pe*******on testing, and reverse engineering malware, computer forensic investigators also must rebuild damaged systems to recover lost data that can be used for prosecutions. After retrieving the data as evidence, forensic analysts also are responsible for preparing technical reports, providing testimonies in court, testing cyber security measures for a company’s information systems, and training other law enforcement officers on proper procedures for collecting computer evidence.
