CyberSecurity Certificate
As computer systems have become part of the fabric of modern society, system security has grown essential to the well-being of individuals, companies, the economy and life as we know it. A single security breach can expose the passwords, financial data and private personal information of hundreds of millions of people. This Undergraduate Certificate in Cybersecurity enables students to understand common threats to system security, assess security requirements for a new or existing system, implement secure solutions to counter threats, and evaluate systems to identify and address weaknesses. These skills will support future careers as cybersecurity analyst, cybersecurity engineer, information assurance technician, and security administrator. In addition, these skills will enable students to perform other jobs, such as software engineer and requirements analyst, with a higher level of proficiency and a lower risk of creating security flaws that threaten their users, their employers, their livelihoods, and their nation.
