Correct!!
Administration - ANSWERSAn administrator is in charge of some portion of the IT infrastructure.
Network administrator - ANSWERSoversees all aspects of the computer network. The network
administrator's duties include physically laying down cable, making connections, and working with the
network hardware (for instance, routers and switches).
Database administrator - ANSWERSfocus on the design, development, and support of database
management systems (DBMSs). Tasks will include installation, maintenance, performance analysis, and
troubleshooting as with the other administrative areas
Security administrator - ANSWERSinstall, configure, and administer appropriate firewall security to
protect the organization's systems and to work proactively against such intrusions.
Web administrator (webmaster) - ANSWERSalso known as a webmaster, but more precisely referred to
