Program Overview
Train to become a computer systems security professional and gain a solid understanding of programming, operating systems, networking and strategy — using practical applications of defensive and offensive technologies.
With technology being a ubiquitous aspect of our everyday lives, computer and system security play a critical role in protecting users and organizations from cyber attacks. When the systems work, our data is protected and secure, but when they fail, it can be catastrophic. Businesses know they need systems in place to ensure the security of their data, and nation-states are focused on the security of their people.
The Information Systems Security program prepares you for entering the computer system security field with confidence and solid fundamental knowledge. You will use a wide variety of defensive and offensive tools while learning the fundamentals of networking, tool construction, and operating systems.
The first year of the program delivers a strong base of fundamental skills in programming, operating systems, networking, and strategy. The second-year moves into the more practical applications of defensive and offensive strategies, cumulating with a capstone project in which students apply the sum of their learning in the program.
