As Foster explains, all companies need a well-established security team that works within the requirements of the General Data Protection Act (LGPD), which comes into force in August 2020.
However, hiring a dedicated team can be an unaffordable cost for many companies. However, Foster stresses that in order to meet LGPD compliance, alternatives must be sought. “Not every company has the purchasing power to assemble a security team and for this reason, companies are looking for third-party solutions,” he says.

The executive explains that since the creation of the LGPD, the analyst's work is being valued more. "Companies did not want to invest in security," comments Foster. However, investment in security is now part of the legal requirements for the functioning of an institution.
What to do to become a security analyst?Professionals looking to work as security analysts need to have a technical and analytical profile at the same time, explains Foster. He says that the security area is one of the most delicate and, perhaps, the most difficult in technology. For this reason, before going to the security area, what is recommended is that the professional goes through other areas of technology, such as development, support, networks and cloud computing, for example.
