Cyber Security and Assurance Certificate


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs

The Cyber Security and Assurance Program provides students with practical experience in understanding the threats and dangers, security assessments and analysis to a wide range of different businesses, and the steps that need to be taken to mitigate these vulnerabilities by using state-of-the-art technology. The program prepares students for vendor-specific or commercially available security certification. The program also emphasizes the need to build a wall between our information and those that want to exploit it. The recurring events such as virus and worm attacks and the success of criminal attackers illustrate the weaknesses in current information technologies and the need for heightened security of these systems.
