Hackers can be an ingenious bunch. So how does a business stop them from breaching its systems and stealing its data? By hiring someone even more resourceful than the hacker. That person is a cyber security architect, and his or her role in business is expanding as companies face more and more threats from wily computer break-in artists.

Every company, when adding software that collects data such as credit card information, must take into consideration where the vulnerabilities lie in the project. A security architect’s job is to make sure those vulnerabilities are minimized or eliminated.
