Cyber Security and Assurance Degree (M714)

The new degree program in Cyber Security and Assurance at BCCC emphasizes on 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 to heighten security of these systems. Students will gain 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-at technology. The program prepares students for vendor-specific or commercially available security certification.
