As a network security manager, you may be  responsible for many employees. The job may be more managerial than  technical. As a network security manager, you may have many  responsibilities. Troubleshooting issues, monitoring potential threats,  and providing secure passwords to users are just some of the important  work you will have to do. Delegating actions to others is very  important, making sure that the task goes to the most knowledgeable of  IT’s. Security managers must stay on top of their game like medical  doctors. If new procedures emerge such as computing trends and security  protocols, you will be responsible in implementing them in a timely  fashion. Maintaining the company’s network infrastructure is vital.  Installing security hardware and software, scanning networks for  security threats are also on your list of to-dos’. Some managers may  even develop data encryption methods and programs to protect information  and privacy.

A biblical principle that would guide  me in performing my duties would be integrity. Integrity is the quality  of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness,  the state of being whole and undivided. As a security manager you are  privy to confidential information, network protocols and system  operations. You may be tempted to steal information for money, you may  even be tempted to create malicious software such as ransomware that can  financially stun an organization. Staying honest in a world that sees  cyber-crimes as a lucrative business is challenging; However, with the  strength of God anything is possible. Proverbs 10:9 Whoever walks in  integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be  found out (ESV).

In conclusion being a network security  manager is very challenging. There are many obstacles and roadblocks  standing in your path. The difference between a security manager and a  hacker is integrity, the ability to do right even when wrong is more  profitable. The Bible is the absolute truth it can guide us in the  darkest of times. Rely on your faith of God and you will be successful  at anything you do.
